The original of this magnificent Chinese export pattern may be found set in the dining room of Charleston's famed National Russell Home. Butterflies, a popular design in China, are often found as porcelain decoration or embroidered on robes. Perhaps the popularity of the butterfly comes, in part, from the fact that the Chinese word for butterfly, "tieh", is a pun which expresses the wish that the owner might live to a ripe old age. Mottahedeh, in cooperation with Historic Charleston, offers an updated version of the well known Sacred Bird and Butterfly pattern. The decoration is more dense than the original Mottahedeh pattern and is true to the antique. The name reflects the many birds and butterflies featured in the design.
Sacred Bird and Butterfly is an on-screen favorite. You may be able to catch it on the family dining room table in the show Blue Bloods. It makes a lovely fall themed table, perfect for Thanksgiving, with it's vibrant oranges, golds, and rusty reds.
