Splendid Settings: 100 Years of Mottahedeh Design
About the Item
The dinnerware of presidents and the teacups of dignitaries. Mottahedeh, founded 100 years ago and based on Mildred and Rafi Mottahedeh’s passion for antiques, is the most distinguished ceramics reproduction company today. With meticulous craft, attention to detail, and storied partners such as the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, the Historic Charleston Foundation, Mount Vernon, and Winterthur, Mottahedeh continues to create some of the most highly sought-after pieces on the market. For more than 30 years, Wendy Kvalheim has led this company into modern times. Splendid Settings: 100 Years of Mottahedeh Design is a testament to both Mottahedeh’s inimitable style and Kvalheim’s unique vision of the future. This is not your grandma’s china. In this lavishly illustrated celebration of Mottahedeh’s centenary, hundreds of Mottahedeh’s finest pieces are showcased; from classical dinner services in the great historical houses of America, to the placement of Mottahedeh pieces in modern New York lofts and contemporary Palm Beach, Florida houses, each page is an unexpected joy. Expressing Kvalheim’s distinct sensibility and outlook, Splendid Settings: 100 Years of Mottahedeh Design offers an elevated guide to traditional entertaining and table setup, appealing
equally to porcelain collectors of all generations as well as those looking to inaugurate their
own traditions.
WENDY KVALHEIM has been the president and design director of Mottahedeh & Co., Inc. for the last 30 years, carrying forward the company founded a century ago. An education and psychology major at Mount Holyoke College, she started working in bronze casting and went on to receive a BFA in sculpture from the Pratt Institute of Art, in Brooklyn, New York. She enjoys cooking for a crowd and her cookies are legendary. Wendy and her husband, Grant Kvalheim live in Princeton, New Jersey. This is her second book.

Ahoy Sailor!
By Daniel Rozensztroch
Located in New York, NY
Ahoy Sailor! offers the reader another mesmerizing foray into the mind of uber collector and archivist of the everyday, Daniel Rozensztroch. We are transported across the ocean, from port to port, as Ahoy Sailor! gathers and presents a singular collection of objects, images, and representations of sailors and seamen. The ocean has inspired an expansive world of vernacular and popular imagery, much of it uncanny and unique, produced by the tension between the laws of nature that rule the oceans and the miniature floating societies left to their mercy. Adventures, secret ritual, solitude, and comradery are all given their place. Meticulously drawn together, and with an individuality that has become his trademark, Rozensztroch gives the reader a visual feast that ranges from antique toys and postage stamps to French artist Jean Cocteau’s beguiling sketches found in Jean Genet’s cult-classic Querelle de Brest.
DANIEL ROZENSZTROCH was a longtime consultant to the magazine Marie-Claire Maison and is the former creative director of Merci in Paris, France. He is also the co-author of a number of titles in the Style Series published by Clarkson N. Potter / Random House. For Pointed Leaf Press...
