Inspired by 19th-century botanical illustrations, Portmeirion Botanic Garden dinnerware features a lush array of hand-painted blossoms. The pieces are perfect for a mix-and-match sensibility and suitable for year-round dining. Made in Britain from high-quality porcelain, they are safe in the oven, freezer, microwave, and dishwasher. This dramatically flared centerpiece bowl is beautiful on its own and stunning when filled with short-stemmed tulips or a pyramid of citrus. The exterior is ringed with clusters of treasure flowers and banded at the base with laurel leaves. Inside, there are varying bouquets, including bindweed, pansy, primrose, milkwort, and cyclamen. Measuring 13 inches in diameter, the bowl stands 5-1/2 inches high. Coordinating serving pieces are also available. --Emily Bedard -- Amazon.com Review
The plants and butterflies that make up Botanic Garden are from the exquisitely hand colored illustrations in the finest natural history books of the early 19th Century. Reproduced with true craftsmanship, these flowers have the same brilliance and life they had when first painted over 150 years ago.
