This extravagant design was originally made in China, probably for export to the Portuguese and Brazilian markets. Of all the 18th century dinner patterns, this was the most highly prized. A small phoenix bird perches on the leaves of the flowering Nicotiana (Tobacco) plant. Twenty-seven colors and 22k gold make up this pattern showing that good design is timeless. The vibrant colors and decoration of the dinner plate make the dinner service elegant as well as interesting. 10.5″ diameter. Special order item – please allow an additional two weeks for delivery.
