Mottahedeh Canton Fruit Saucer

While Mottahedeh porcelain is durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the glaze and the hand-painted details over time. It is generally microwave safe for short durations, but avoid extreme temperature changes to prevent thermal shock.

Blue Canton is distinct for its specific landscape motifs, often featuring a 'willow' style scene with pagodas, bridges, and lush foliage. It is a classic Chinese export pattern that became a hallmark of early American dining, characterized by its deep, rich cobalt blue against a crisp white background.

This piece is versatile enough to serve as a small dessert plate for fruit or pastries, or as a traditional saucer for a teacup. Its size is designed to complement standard tea service while functioning beautifully as a standalone small plate.

Mottahedeh is renowned for its historical accuracy, and this reproduction is designed to be compatible with antique sets. While there may be slight variations due to the hand-finished nature of porcelain, the pattern and color palette are faithful to the historical originals.

The porcelain has a smooth, high-gloss finish that feels substantial and refined. It captures the authentic weight and luster of the original export wares, providing a polished look that fits both formal and casual table settings.
