Manufactured at the world-renowned Vista Alegre Factory in Portugal for luxury design house Mottahedeh, this piece beautifully captures the timeless elegance of 18th-century European tableware. The pattern features a crisp, vibrant emerald-green transferware motif of winding ivy leaves and delicate vines trailing across a brilliant, high-glaze white porcelain body.

This heavy, durable hard-paste porcelain set serves as both a functional statement piece for serving broths and stews, and an impressive decorative focal point. Its classic botanical motif makes it a natural fit for traditional English dining rooms, grandmillennial interiors, or eclectic tablescapes.

The three-piece set showcases exceptional neoclassical craftsmanship:
• The Tureen: Features a sophisticated, ribbed oval silhouette adorned with structured, scalloped molding along the rim. It is flanked by beautifully molded, leafy scroll-accented handles designed for secure handling.
• The Fitted Lid: Seamlessly aligns with the tureen's form, featuring a slotted opening for a soup ladle and a finely detailed, sculptural finial handle that mirrors the side scrolls.
• The Underplate Charger: A matching, wide-rimmed oval platter decorated with an echoing border of trailing green ivy, designed to seamlessly catch drips while framing the centerpiece with grand presentation. See less
