Mottahedeh’s Tobacco Leaf Dinnerware: At the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Inspired by the style of 18th Century Chinese decoration, Mottahedeh’s Tobacco Leaf Collection is as historical as it is beautiful. The flowering Nicotina plant, depicted in vibrant hues, is said to be derived from Indian textile designs. This lively pattern is based on an original work now located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and it is the perfect way to bring the elegant art and rich history of this period to your home.

On the elaborate dinner plate, a small phoenix rests atop the tobacco leaf to symbolize the beauty of rebirth.
