Description

For over 75 years, Mottahedeh & Co has been committed to excellence in dinnerware design and is world-renowned for patterns reproduced and adapted from rare antiques. In keeping with the motto of the company--Tradition For A Modern World, Mottahedeh & Co. continues as a premier design company which seeks to imbue the enduring ancient designs with new life. Mottahedeh has licensing programs for authorized reproductions with major museums worldwide including: Colonial Williamsburg; Historic Charleston; Historic Natchez; Metropolitan Museum of Art; Monticello; Musee des Arts Decoratifs; Stately Homes of England; Winterthur. The most fashionable tables in the early American Republic were set with blue and white "Canton" or "Nanking" wares, named for the great Chinese trading ports from which they came. Chinese blue and white porcelain was in demand in this country well into the nineteenth century and has become a part of the heritage of many American families. Blue Canton faithfully recaptures this centuries old tradition and taste.
