Mottahedeh
Museum-Licensed Porcelain Reproductions
Rafi and Mildred Mottahedeh started out as dealers in antique porcelain. When the antiques market thinned during World War II, they began working with museums to make faithful reproductions instead, matching original shapes and colors down to the glaze. The company has produced licensed pieces for Colonial Williamsburg, Mount Vernon, Winterthur, and Monticello, along with the Tobacco Leaf pattern and china for the U.S. State Department. Production is mostly in Europe, with the largest share in Portugal.
