Portmeirion Botanic Garden Foxglove Hydrangea Sweet Pea Moth Orchid Dinner Plate

Description: I have more items from Portmeirion Botanic Garden in my store Offer up the plates includes 4 motifs on the 4 Dinner plates from legendary Portmeirion Exotic Botanic Garden collection. Botanical illustrations within the set include Sweet Pea, Hydrangea, Hydrangea and Moth Orchid. The collection’s delightful transfer print pattern combines flowery motifs with butterflies and insects and a three-leaf border – a theme created by Portmeirion’s co-founder Susan Williams-Ellis. The history of legendary brand began from selling pottery in the gift shop in Portmeirion, a tourist village in North Wales. Some of the pottery was designed exclusively for the Portmeirion shop by Susan, who was then a freelance designer and illustrator. Near 1970 visited an antiquarian bookseller her attention turned to a horticulture book bursting with bright and detailed hand-coloured illustrations of flowers. There and then, Susan began to visualise a beautiful range of dinnerware with a different flower on each piece. For variety across the collection – and to improve the fit of the motifs on the tableware shapes – Susan thought about adding butterflies and insects, along with the now-famous triple-leaf border. This pattern was to be named ‘Botanic Garden’ and still be a very popular already more than 50 years.

I AM ALWAYS WILLING TO COMBINE SHIPPING COSTS ON MULTIPLE PURCHASES I will refund your shipping discount after sending. The vast majority of my packing and shipping materials, including bubble wrap, air pillows, brown and white packing paper, tissue paper, plastic bags, all sorts of styrofoam, preformed plastic, padded mailers, plastic mailers, envelopes, boxes, sticker labels, etc....have been previously used and recycled again. I do this to give these items, which most people seemingly think of as instantly disposable, an additional life and purpose. I have teamed up with a few local businesses, friends and family (as of us have like recycling mindsets) with the hope to keep many of these products out of landfills for as long as possible. Your shipping package may not be the most visually pleasing, but it will be well packed, personally, by me, without adding new items to our already overcrowded landfills.Thank you for looking!
