Two plates have minor manufacturing defects, small specks on one plate and white streaks on the other plate. You can see it in the last two photos.

A bit of information. In ancient Europe, the olive was a symbol of victory, peace and the accompanying joy, the embodiment of fertility and abundance, the standard of purity and chastity, as well as the emblem of immortality. The Japanese and Chinese supplemented this symbolism with new positive meanings. In Japan, the blessed olive serves as an emblem of friendship and success, and in China it represents such commendable human qualities as composure and equanimity. Share
