In April this year, relevant departments of Hangzhou held the Hangzhou Cuisine Food and Service Skills Competition at Hangzhou Restaurant in China to welcome the G20 Summit. The most striking thing is that the contest selected 20 dishes with the most Hangzhou characteristics, including 16 dishes and 4 snacks.

It is understood that the tableware design team of "West Lake Feast" used in G20 State Banquet is from Shanghai, and its design and creation are inspired by water and natural landscape. The whole set of porcelain embodies the keynote of G20 State Banquet "West Lake elements, Hangzhou characteristics, Jiangnan charm, China style and world power".
The pattern of state banquet tableware is created by "green landscape" with meticulous brushwork and freehand brushwork, which is rich in traditional cultural aesthetic elements. Exquisite and precise layout, fresh artistic conception.
All pattern designs are taken from the real scene of the West Lake. For example, the series of tea and coffee porcelain ware is inspired by the lotus flower and lotus shape in the West Lake, and the lid of the pot is like a drop of water.
Visit the West Lake, the most unforgettable bridge, large and small. The logo of the G20 Summit draws a bridge-shaped outline with 20 lines. Bridge, in this set of state banquet tableware, is not only reflected in the pattern, but also integrated with the elements of bridge in the shape of the instruments.
The hemispherical lifting design of cold dish platter originated from Santan Yin Yue, one of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake. The height of the handle is 5.5 cm. In order to truly restore the shape of the three pools and the moon, the craftsman needs to carve six 0.3 cm windows with a diameter of 1.5 cm on the handle. The creative design of the upper part of the top cover comes from "Manyu", with the natural snuggling of osmanthus in Hangzhou and bamboo in Jiangnan as the background.
The soup cup adopts double-layer constant temperature to ensure that the hot soup can keep the temperature. The shape design of the soup cup is inspired by the treasure ship of the Maritime Silk Road, and the handle of the soup cup cover is a simple bridge hole shape.
