Furthermore, the clever use of the Xi (囍) character pattern and window-like hollow support components enable free combinations, allowing for versatility in various usage scenarios.
Innovative Storage Combination Form
The storage and combination design of the tableware minimizes the volume, providing users with efficient space utilization and convenient storage, maximizing space savings. Furthermore, the unique shape of the Meiping and its exquisite decorative effect add an artistic atmosphere to the dining table. With delicate lines and smooth curves, it showcases the splendor of traditional aesthetics.
Safe and Environment-friendly Material
The tableware is made from environmentally friendly Melamine, a non-toxic and pollution-free material that complies with national food hygiene standards and the US FDA health standards. Long-term use poses no health concerns. Melamine material is lightweight, visually appealing, and resistant to breakage, making it suitable for various occasions such as outdoor dining, camping, and more, meeting the diverse needs of users.
Elegant Visual Experience Combining Chinese and Western
Chinese red, as the predominant color scheme of Xiqi, symbolizes joy and happiness. Each piece of tableware exudes a rich traditional Chinese essence, with intricate patterns and elegant lines that outline the beauty of the Meiping form. The infusion of elements inspired by Picasso's artworks adds a sense of contemporary artistic fashion to the tableware, creating a unique and distinctive style.

Its large opening window and high-saturated color of the glass observation port satisfy the unique visual perception and make the daily kitchen utensils more ornamental and interesting. Moreover, its variety of colors is conducive to customizing personalized styles and bringing users a great cooking experience.
The product adopts a new craft of non-stick. Its inner surface, under high-temperature melting titanium process, which is about 10 times stronger than traditional Teflon material, can prevent the coating from falling off to ensure food safety. The outer surface is coated with high-gloss oil-based paint, making it smooth and easy to clean, which can reduce the pollution of detergent to the environment. And the automatic air valve, made of silicone material with variable properties, can effectively improve thermal energy efficiency to save energy and protect the environment.
