Monteith Cachepot-Cobalt & Gold 14.5" X 10.5"

This large planter was adapted from a Chinese porcelain monteith, circa 1720. It is decorated in cobalt overlaid with a design of swirling chyrsanthemums in gold.. It is a dramatic decorative object for a grand entryway or livingroom. 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.
