Moonshine Cannonball Short Fuse Brown Blast (MS09) Tobacco Pipe

This extravagant design was originally made in China, probably for export to the Portuguese and Brazilian markets. Of all the 18th century dinner patterns, this was the most highly prized. A small phoenix bird perches on the leaves of the flowering Nicotiana (Tobacco) plant. Twenty-seven colors and 22k gold make up this pattern showing that good design is timeless. These salad or dessert plates repeat the design of the dinner. 8.5" diameter.
