Mottahedeh Blue Canton Decor

Mottahedeh Blue Canton Small Platter, Salt and Pepper Set and Fu Dog Jar

I was helping someone identify what they thought was Blue Willow china and found this beautiful collection, Blue Canton by Mottahedeh. Besides the dishes, serving pieces and bake ware in this pattern, they also make these pieces that are pretty much just for display.

HC86 Fu Dog Jar (6 1/2″ h.)

Mottahedeh Blue Canton Oven Safe and Bakeware

The baking dishes are dishwasher and oven safe. The quiche pan has a lobed or fluted edge. The little ramekins are sold singly. They are affordable and durable and would make a lovely gift.

They are expensive, but not as expensive as things I have from Pampered Chef. Continue reading →
