Paris 1919

The most fashionable tables in the early American Republic were set with blue and white Canton ware, so called for the great Chinese trading port from which it came. Chinese blue and white porcelain was in demand well into the 19th century and has been part of the heritage of many American families. Blue Canton from Mottahedeh faithfully recaptures this centuries-old tradition and style.

Floral branches, accented in rust and gold, are silhouetted against a bold blue background in this printed sham from DIANE von FURSTENBERG.
