Fall has officially arrived!! Mother nature kicked the trees into gear with a freak snow storm which wiped out the power all over the North East but especially up in CT. If you're still without power, our thoughts are with you.
The October New York Table Top Show always coincides with the coming of autumn and this year we introduced a new dessert set called Nut Leaf. Different nut bearing tree leaves decorate each of the four plates and are accompanied by their respective nuts. Deep shadowing paired with vibrant greens keep this pattern fresh and alive in celebration of the cycle of life and the need to bear fruit (or nuts).
The original artwork was painted by a botanist in true form. Interestingly enough we pulled this pattern out of our Mottahedeh archives and gave it a face lift by enlarging the motifs, enhancing the beautiful colors, and adding 22k gold detailing throughout the leaves and around the rim, in the hopes that the freshness of the design would hold true to the natural beauty of nature.
The best part about this pattern is that it can be dressed up with gold and green, or dressed down to stand on its own framed by a beautiful place matt.
This pattern will not be available in retail shops until March. But keep an eye out for it for Spring 2012!
