More than just a Mid-Autumn Festival gift box, the collection is built as a meeting point between two craft forms: pottery and mooncakes. One preserves the form of the clay after firing; the other preserves the flavors of autumn through each layer of mooncake created with meticulousness, balance, and patience.
The story of Dao Khi Thu Vien originates from Bat Trang – a pottery village on the Red River, where the earth, fire, and craftsmanship have been preserved for generations. Throughout history, the Red River has not only deposited alluvial soil and transported raw materials and products, but has also paved the way for Bat Trang pottery to travel far, connecting the craft village with the capital city and other open lands. From this memory, the collection selects pottery not only as a source of visual inspiration, but also as a symbol of resilience, of inherited craftsmanship, and of values forged over time.
In that vein of inspiration, mooncakes are placed alongside pottery because both begin with simple materials, pass through the hands of skilled artisans, and require fire to achieve their full beauty. If pottery is the form of the earth, then mooncakes are the flavor of the season. The meeting point between these two symbols lies in the spirit of craftsmanship: patience in each step, meticulous attention to detail, and the desire to preserve familiar things in a dignified, complete form.
The gift box design continues to interpret that spirit through restrained and evocative language. The embossed tile motif serves as a reminder of traditional village roofs, pagodas, and old houses – spaces associated with shelter, reunion, and homecoming. If the image of the boat evokes the journey of preserving the craft, the tile roof brings the story back to the core meaning of the Mid-Autumn Festival: reunion with familiar things.
The dominant terracotta orange color is therefore not just an aesthetic choice, but the color of origin - of fired clay, of roof tiles in the autumn sun, and of everything that has passed through fire to become warm and rich.
Inside each gift box is a selection of artisan mooncakes crafted with a balance of traditional flavors and contemporary variations. The collection includes six flavors: Lava Chocolate, White Lotus with Ginger & Salted Egg Yolk Cream, Traditional Mixed Nuts, Apricot, Black Sesame & Salted Egg Yolk, and Green Tea & Salted Egg Yolk. Each flavor is developed to offer a taste experience that is both familiar and novel, fitting the spirit of a formal gift during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
