The Lotus Blossom design is derived from an existing Chinese antique plate in our collection.This stylized lotus floweris a symbol of beauty, purity and tranquility in several cultures. The ancient Egyptians associated the lotus flower with beauty and rebirth, and even today it is an emblem of purity and enlightenment in the Buddhist and Hindu faiths. The white lotus flower and pink lotus flower from the Nelumbo family are seen as meaning purity and devotion. More passionately colored red, purple, and blue Lotus flower blooms can take on a spiritual meaning of ascension, enlightenment, or rebirth. This tin place set is wonderful for casual meals on the lawn or at the beach.After the meal, just pack up the used plates in the box to bring home for cleaning. Use them over and over with no fear of breakage. Please use plastic or wood cutlery on the plates, asmetal ones may scratch.
