It is believed that the goose ribbon pattern first appeared in Karlovy Vary (Czech Republic). One of the masters painting porcelain spied it from a street artist and transferred it to the dishes. Despite the naivety, this pattern has become in demand, because the goose among the European peoples symbolized prosperity in the house, comfort, a simple way of life - everything that symbolizes ordinary happiness.
