About Villages Mausteastiasetti

Book Text: Villages on joukko irrotettavia keramiikasta valmistettuja mausteastioita, jotka on suunniteltu ruokapöytään. Astioita voi järjestellä eri yhdistelmiin, joten käyttäjät määrittelevät itse niiden käyttötarkoituksen. Yhdessä lautaselle aseteltuina astiat muodostavat pienen kylämaiseman, joka muuttaa ruokailuasetelman maisemaksi. Setti on valmistettu Jingdezhenissä korkeassa lämpötilassa poltetusta posliinista, joka on turvallista, myrkytöntä ja mikroaaltouunin kestävää. Tavoitteena on tuoda lämpöä ja iloa jokapäiväiseen ruokailuun.
