Mottahedeh Famille Verte Man Epergne - Large

This Graceful Design, With Its Leaves, Berries And Butterflies, Was Derived Directly From Antique Chinese Palace Porcelain. At A Time When Porcelain Was Valued Because Of Its Rarity, Highly Prized Examples Found Their Way To Europe, And Into The Hands Of Avid Collectors. Often Fitted With Mounts Of Precious Metal, They Became Gifts Fit For Kings. Many Porcelain Pieces Produced In China During The Kangxi Period (1662-1722) Had Famille Verte Decoration — Painted In Transparent Enamel Colors, Predominantly In Shades Of Green And Red. Mottahedeh’S Collection Is True To The Eighteenth Century Spirit Of This Pattern.

Mottahedeh'S Famille Verte Large Man Epergne Is One Of The Most Imposing And Dramatic Objects In Our Line. A Chinese Figure Supports Two Wide Reticulated Trays And A Small Vase. The Piece Stands Alone Or As Container For Imposing Floral Arrangements..
