is a stunning set by Mottahedeh, Vista Alegre, in the Blue Canton, or Canton, blue and white pattern. This auction consists of an octagonal tray, which measures 16-7/8" x 13-7/8", a coffepot with lid, and a creamer and covered sugar. The coffepot measures 7.5" high to the top of the knob on the lid. The mark on the bottom of each piece is: Mottahedeh, Vista Alegre, Portugal, Historic Charleston Reproduction. The most fashionable tables in the early American Republic were set with blue and white "Canton" dinnerware, so called for the great Chinese trading port from which it came. These pieces are in superb, immaculate condtiion - no chips, no cracks, no crazing, no stains or discoloration - they have never been used, only displayed. These are all magnificent, historic reproduction pieces of porcelain. I bought these pieces at an estate sale, and each piece has a label that it was bought from the Frank H. Boos Gallery. I researched that name on the internet, and found out that this gallery was in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and that Frank H. Boos was an appraiser famous for his expertise and appearances on Antiques Road Show, and known as the "Bow-Tie Man" until his death in February, 2008. Although I hope to sell these items as a set, if they do not sell in this auction, I will be listing them individually, so please let me know if read more
