Mottahedeh Blue Canton Dinnerware

Recognized by the blue lattice border surrounding a variety of landscape scenes, this popular pattern inspired a number of European versions.  The most fashionable tables in the early American Republic were set with blue and white “Canton” wares, named for the great Chinese trading ports from which they came. Chinese blue and white porcelain was in demand in this country well into the nineteenth century and has become a part of the heritage of many American families. Blue Canton, the reproduction of the original that resides at the Historic Charleston museum,  faithfully recaptures this centuries-old tradition and taste.  Porcelain dinnerware hand made in Portugal, microwave and dishwasher safe.
