This lovely creamware tureen and stand, reproduced from an 18th century French original made by the reknowned Pont-aux-Chou factory, makes a handsome centerpiece for any setting. This remarkable reproduction was made from molds taken from the antique collection of the Musee des Artes Decoratifs in Paris. 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.
