This extravagant design was originally made in China, probably for export to the Portuguese and Brazilian markets.  Of all the 18th century dinnerware patterns, this was the most highly prized.  A small phoenix bird perches on the leaves of the flowering Nocotiana  (Tobacco) plant.  Twenty-seven colors with 22k gold characterize this pattern, based on an original which is displayed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
