Description
DeepL TranslateThe dining table of the White House. Either a respite from the stress or a negotiation with some nibbles. If you're Vice President Rockefeller, if you're Ronald Reagan, you want a design that fits. That feels cultivated, not abrasive. You want a design by Mrs Mildred Mottahedeh, as this intricate plate is.
Many words in China have two meanings that fuel the symbolism portrayed in porcelain. The word for 'butterfly' is 'tieh', and like all good words, it's deceptively funny. It's a pun that also means 70 years, and so the connotation connected butterflies with a promise of long life. Unless you're already 70, in which case it might feel like a threat.
