Description: These Mottahedeh Tobacco Leaf Design Dinner Plates feature a stunning floral pattern in vibrant colors on bone china. Made in Portugal, the plates are round in shape and have a width of 11". Suitable for all occasions, they add an elegant touch to any dining experience. The intricate Tobacco Leaf design is sure to impress guests and elevate the table setting. Tobacco Leaf, one of the most prized of Chinese Export patterns, was developed circa 1780, probably for the Portuguese and Brazilian markets - though examples have also been found in other European countries and in North America. The design shows the leaves of the flowering Nicotiana (Tobacco) plant upon which a small phoenix perches bearing a flowering twig in its beak. This exact reproduction requires twenty-eight colors including 22K gold and five firings to manufacture. The joyous exuberance of the Tobacco Leaf pattern is undiminished by time. Tobacco Leaf is an authorized reproduction for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Handmade porcelain from Portugal.
