Know before you buy
This piece is a faithful reproduction of a Chinese artifact dating back to approximately 1797. It was developed in collaboration with the National Trust for Historic Preservation to mirror the design of the original historical vessel.
The bowl measures 15.5 inches in diameter. Its substantial size is designed to serve a large group, making it a functional centerpiece for significant gatherings and events.
The bowl is crafted from fine porcelain, which is durable but requires careful handling. While it is designed for gracious entertaining, it should be treated as a high-quality decorative and serving piece rather than everyday dinnerware.
The bowl is part of the Mottahedeh Presentation Collection. While the blue and white aesthetic is classic and versatile, it is specifically designed to honor the historical integrity of the original artifact.
To preserve the finish and the integrity of the porcelain, we recommend hand washing the bowl with mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh detergents that could damage the glaze.
