"Blue Onion" refers to the onion pattern drawn in a vibrant cobalt blue. The pomegranate pattern, which originated in China in the 16th century, was influenced by the Rococo style in 18th-century Europe and transformed into the onion pattern through people's humor. The patterns drawn on the tableware have meanings said to be derived from Eastern philosophy. The delicate onion pattern, applied in beautiful cobalt blue on pure white porcelain, has been loved on dining tables around the world, regardless of time or place.
