Stoke-on-Trent ceramics: Portmeirion


Portmeirion is well known for Botanic Garden, the most successful tableware series for the company. It's been produced since 70's and still draws buyers. I don't feel the charm of it personally as it's too country. The late Susan William-Ellis, a pottery designer who also founded the company created all and these series above are wondrous. She studied under the sculptor Henry Moore.
