This collection of delicate and beautiful floral illustrations pioneered a new trend in casual dining ware in the 1970s. While new patterns are continually introduced, the classic elegance and beauty of the Botanic Garden series remain deeply loved by the public. The current crystal glass series, with its floral engravings, creates an elegant and sophisticated aesthetic, winning favor with a wide range of consumers! https://queen-living.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/PMG_image.jpg -PORTMEIRION Group- In 1960, the legendary ceramic designer Ms. Susan Williams-Ellis, along with her husband Euan Cooper-Willis, consolidated two previously acquired ceramic companies and factories to establish Portmeirion Potteries. Susan initially designed ceramic gifts for their hometown, Portmeirion Village, at her father's request. As these gifts became increasingly popular, she acquired the ceramic companies and factories, which allowed her to design the shapes and patterns of the ceramics herself. In the 1970s, Susan's most classic and beloved series – Botanic Garden – was born. Inspired by antique botanical books discovered by chance, Botanic Garden's unique and exquisite floral designs presented a casual, home-style aesthetic distinct from the formal dinnerware of the time. Upon its launch, it was enthusiastically welcomed worldwide and became an icon of British design, still recognized today as one of the most popular tableware designs. Despite her immense success, Susan remained true to her goal of creating beautiful, practical, and affordable tableware. She personally oversaw the manufacturing process, maintaining Portmeirion's high quality and continuously introducing beloved collections. Although Ms. Susan passed away in 2007, her lifelong design philosophy – not only beautiful but also functional and affordable – will continue to guide Portmeirion forward.
