If you ever wanted to learn a little bit more about the whole process of porcelain development, about the history behind some of our most popular patterns, or how Mottahedeh came to be - we sell a beautiful full color coffee table book called From Drawing Board to Dinner Table written by the CEO of Mottahedeh herself, Wendy Kvalheim.

I personally use it ALL the time for reference - but then again, I do work for Mottahedeh and am constantly engaged in the development aspect of porcelain. But even if you're not, and just want some insight into this magnificant artform - this is a book worth having. If you're more of a visual person (who reads only when you have to) the images are absolutely beautiful. Given that everything has a history, the products and pictures take on a new depth as understanding grows and develops into appreciation.

This coffee table book would also make a wonderful gift for anyone in love with fine china, home decor, or hosting.
