Do you love the look of Blue and White?That is Mottahedeh's specialty. Known for high fire blue, they have been making it for more than 90 years. In the mid 1700's, before Europe discovered the secret of making porcelain, blue and white porcelain was traversing the ocean on sailing ships. Cobalt oxide creates this color. The material is the same today. Using designs from back then, but putting them on contemporary shapes, creates something new and utterly appealing.
