Inspired by classic blue-and-white pottery motifs, Blooming<\/i> reimagines heritage through BTMA\u2019s signature silhouettes. Traditional techniques, modern aesthetics.<\/p>\r\n

Set against a minimalist backdrop of lotus flowers, a village gate, and ceramic forms, the story evokes a quiet sense of Vietnamese culture. At its heart stands Molly, the iconic Pop Mart figure, as a symbolic bridge between tradition and today\u2019s collectible world.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”4rem”][vc_single_image image=”7349″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”8rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section el_class=”.grid-collection”][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-2″][vc_column_text]\r\n
