About Lucky Plate Lykketallerken
Book Text: Lykketallerken er et sæt keramiske middagstallerkener formet som en firbladet klöver. Den firbladede kløverform henviser til håb, gavmildhed, kærlighed og lykke i kinesisk tradition. Der er fire fordybninger langs kanten af hver tallerken. To fordybninger holder bestikket under måltidet, og de andre to bruges til at placere bestikket, når måltidet er slut. Den formede kant hjælper også med at forhindre sauce i at dryppe, når maden fjernes. Tallerkenerne er fremstillet i Jingdezhen af højtemperaturporcelæn, der er ugiftigt og mikrobølgeegnet.

We usually put our cutlery on plate and desk when we enjoy our meal, which makes our hands or other exposed parts become dirty. Etiquette is used to encourage good table manners. It has four grooves located on the edge of plate. Two can stop the cutlery during the meal, while the other two are used to place the cutlery, which means the meal is over. These two sets of grooves have different usage when we use cutlery, which plays a important role in dining etiquette. - Patents
