Dancing Creamware Monkeys 16"

Chinese export for the West was often a riot of color and fantastic animal images. The Butterfly and the Mallard join our ever-popular Carp and Rooster shells and platters. These pieces feature matte burnished gold and accent flowers. 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.
