About Lucky Plate Set Pjatash Darke

Lucky Plate është një set pjatash darke prej qeramike të formësuara si tërfoil me katër gjethe. Forma e tërfoilit me katër gjethe i referohet shpresës, dhurimit, dashurisë dhe lumturisë sipas traditës kineze. Katër gropëza janë vendosur në buzën e çdo pjate. Dy gropëza mbajnë takëmet gjatë vaktit, ndërsa dy të tjerat përdoren për të vendosur takëmet kur vakti ka përfunduar. Buza e formësuar ndihmon gjithashtu në parandalimin e rrjedhjes së salcës kur ushqimi hiqet nga pjata. Pjatat prodhohen në Jingdezhen nga porcelan me temperaturë të lartë, jo-toksik dhe të sigurt për përdorim në mikrovalë.

Operation Flow: This plate is designed to place cutlery in grooves after a meal.
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.
