The Design
About Lucky Plate Juego de Platos Llanos
Lucky Plate es un juego de platos de cerámica con forma de trébol de cuatro hojas. La forma del trébol de cuatro hojas alude a la esperanza, la generosidad, el amor y la felicidad en la tradición china. En el borde de cada plato se disponen cuatro ranuras: dos sostienen los cubiertos durante la comida y las otras dos sirven para apoyarlos una vez finalizada. El borde perfilado también ayuda a evitar que la salsa gotee al retirar los alimentos. Los platos se elaboran en Jingdezhen con porcelana de alta temperatura, atóxica y apta para microondas.
