Annotation

Do you know what dangers can befall your porcelain if you stop taking care of it? The “Onion” pattern has been around so long that the plant turned into a drawing, which transformed into a sign, and the sign became a symbol. At this point, moving anywhere is always better than staying planted. Just like flowers on the plates, the wilted central plant can become a trace of something still alive.
