A dinner plate covered edge to edge in birds, butterflies and flowers drawn in rich blue, finished with a gold band. It brings a collected, heirloom feel to the table and mixes easily with other blue-and-white pieces. Sacred Bird & Butterfly began as a Chinese export pattern around 1800, when traditional birds, butterflies and blossoms were painted onto European shapes. Mottahedeh's reproduction is based on originals held by Historic Charleston and made under license from the foundation. This blue colorway is a fresh take on the historic orange-and-gold version. A sweet bit of history: the Chinese word for butterfly sounds like a wish for a long life.
