Mottahede's eagle service for diplomatic rooms both here and abroad was adapted from early Chinese renderings of the American eagle on porcelain circa 1810. This box is suitable as a useful accent piece for home or office. 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.
