Sylvanae Tea Cup & Saucer

Sylvanae is the Latin word for Goddesses of the Forest. An apt name for this beguiling woodland scene, an adaptation of a Zsolnay Manufactury design produced in the late 1800's in Pecs Hungary. This swirling natural motif features an exotic bird, and many colored flora intertwined with leaves, all on a generously sized porcelain plate. Mix this with Mottahedeh's Lace patterned service plates in colors of Cornflower, Cobalt, Green, Apple and Pink for a stunningly beautiful table or buffet. Alternatively, place the vibrant dessert plate on a simple border white or colored plate for a very colorful effect. 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.
