"Most bottles, cups, glasses, or mugs have a tendency to leave a ring of water/liquid condensate if kept on a surface. It's why we use coasters or table mats, so these rings don't destroy our furniture or leave stains. Except, Michiru's bottle was designed to make those 'stains' desirable. Unlike most bottles that leave rings of water or florets (especially the carbonated bottles), Michiru's Pet Paw Bottle leaves pawprints."
"Plastic bottles come with two bases - the regular base (which you see on most non-carbonated bottles) also called the champagne base after the fact that it was modeled after the base of champagne bottles, and the petal base (popular for fizzy beverages) designed to provide stability while also counteracting the pressure of the liquid inside the bottle. The Pet Paw Bottle takes the petal base but abstracts it for the sake of aesthetics."
Condensation on drinkware typically leaves rings that can damage furniture, prompting use of coasters. Michiru's Pet Paw Bottle intentionally converts condensate into pawprint-shaped marks by incorporating a stylized petal base on the bottle's underside. The bottle adapts the petal base commonly used for carbonated drinks but abstracts it for aesthetics because the liquid is non-carbonated, avoiding engineering drawbacks. Placing the bottle on a surface produces adorable pawprint stamps from moisture. The design reframes accidental stains as desirable decorative marks and suggests broader possibilities such as printing logos or whimsical icons via intentional base patterns.
