Portmeirion combines my love of flowers and exquisite pottery into beautiful tableware. Each piece is a delight to look at, prepare food with and eat from. While the look is reminicent of the much pricer Danica Botanica, the pottery is sturdy and goes from oven to table and from table to dishwasher with ease and without worry. I have been collecting Portmeirion since visiting the town in Wales and seeing the extraordinary gardens filled with every kind of roses, rhodedendroms, hydrangas and flowers that inspired the original pieces. I highly recommend Portmeirion. It is perfect for casual and elegant dining!
