A colorful and imaginative mallard is the design of this platter which features matte burnished gold and accent flowers. This innovative design that Mottahedeh created is "in the spirit" of the originals, though this image never existed on porcelain in historic times. 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.
