Onion pattern
Weight: 1330 g
Diameter: 28 cm

The pattern used on this porcelain has been labeled from the beginning as an onion pattern, it originates from the combination of stylized plant motifs on an East Asian style background, however it is adapted to the European style and concept. The common name "onion pattern" has its origins in the faulty interpretation of one motif of the pattern, the depiction of a pomegranate, which by its shape distantly reminds one of an onion. In spite of this the concept of "cibulák" is a symbol of delicate beauty, a symbol of the combination of usefulness and being pleasing to the eye, a symbol of uniqueness and worldliness. Porcelain with the onion pattern is manufactured by the stock company Český porcelán (Czech porcelain) under the trademark ROKOKO.
