Tobacco Leaf Leaf Dish - Lg. 11.5" x 9"

The extravagant Tobacco Leaf pattern was originally made in China for export abroad. The design shows the leaves of the flowering Nicotiana plant, upon which a small phoenix perches bearing a flowering twig. This exact reproduction features 28 colors (including 22K gold) and undergoes five firings. Five-piece setting includes dinner, salad, bread & butter, tea cup and saucer.

A favorite with brides, Mottahedeh specializes in luxurious patterns and unique, elegant shapes that are reproduced from china found in museums and historical societies. The patterns feature complex and vibrant colors, and hand-painted gold decoration. The pieces are surprisingly fresh and timely, and look wonderful in both contemporary and traditional dining rooms.
