Inspiration
The dining table of the White House. Either a respite from the stress or a negotiation with some nibbles. If you're Vice President Rockefeller, if you're Ronald Reagan, you want a design that fits. That feels cultivated, not abrasive. You want a design by Mrs Mildred Mottahedeh, as this intricate plate is.
Many words in China have two meanings that fuel the symbolism portrayed in porcelain. The word for 'butterfly' is 'tieh', and like all good words, it's deceptively funny. It's a pun that also means 70 years, and so the connotation connected butterflies with a promise of long life. Unless you're already 70, in which case it might feel like a threat.
It was this kind of porcelain Mrs Mottahedeh collected, amassing the most important assortment in the United States. Thankfully, she didn't wish to keep the beauty to herself - she supported the production of the finest designs. We can only thank one of the most important porcelain people of the past century.
Dishwasher safe although we recommend washing by hand to maintain these pieces for longer, especially with their metallic decoration.

This Christmas I decided to treat my family and bought as gifts, all super appreciated and admired for their versatile attitude: for example the stag bowl - it was meant to be for jam, I used it for parmesan, my sister in from Scotland said “thank you so much! gorgeous this is perfect for brown sugar for my porridge”!

“I knew the moment Josephine said she was launching a tableware company that I would want everything in it. Going to their showroom is like an Aladdin’s cave of fabulousness and you just want everything!"
