This wonderful set of Mottahedeh Vista Alegre teacups and saucers in an antique Chinese woodblock pattern is a rare find and a must for Mottahedeh collectors. The set comes with 10 teacups and 11 saucers.
To create the botanical patterns displayed on the cups, Mottahedeh received special permission from the British Museum to use 18th century Chinese woodblocks. It is rare to find a set of this many teacups, as they feature a limited edition pattern.
The teacups depict a green and mauve fruit and floral botanical on one side and a unique persimmon colored floral arrangement in Chinese vases and urns on the other side. Please see pictures for all designs.
The teacups are accompanied by olive and gold rimed saucers.
A perfect set to be displayed, used for a dinner party or everyday use. House-ready.
