Is it always good luck to break dishes: When broken plates and cups portend trouble
The belief that breaking dishes brings good luck is widely known, although there are exceptions. The sign associated with broken dishes is ancient and continues to be practiced even in the 21st century. People often intentionally break plates during celebrations to attract good luck and happiness. This was reported by SSPDaily.
Breaking kitchen utensils such as plates and cups has different meanings. For example, if a plate or cup slips out of a young girl's hands and breaks, it means that she will find great love.
Likewise, newlyweds who break dishes can expect prosperity and financial wealth. And if glasses or cups break during a festive feast, it symbolizes success and joy for the participants.
However, not all broken dishes carry a positive omen. Certain situations can portend the opposite. It is considered a bad omen when the dishes do not break completely, but only a small part of them cracks or splits into halves of equal size.
In such cases, superstition encourages people to get rid of these fragments as soon as possible. It's worth noting that if the frequency of breaking dishes at home increases, it is considered an unfavorable sign. According to an ancient legend, this indicates the displeasure of the housekeeper.
