Amazon.com Review
This covered sugar bowl from the Botanic Garden collection is equally at home on the breakfast table or at the most sophisticated of afternoon teas. Daintily sized, its elegant curves provide the perfect background for one of 28 breathtakingly detailed hand-painted flowers, each wittily accented with lifelike butterflies. The domed lid, plain except for a border of simple leaves, contrasts beautifully with the bold pattern on the bowl. More than 30 years ago the founder of Portmeirion Potteries was inspired by 19th-century botanical illustrations to create the Botanic Garden collection of tableware and cookware. Each piece is crafted from fine glazed earthenware and features a floral design complemented by a simple border of green leaves to give the collection a coordinated look. Botanic Garden tableware is safe in the freezer, microwave, oven, and dishwasher, but it should not be subjected to sudden changes in temperature. --Simon Leake
Product Description
Designed by Susan Williams-Ellis in 1972, Botanic Garden is a ground breaking pattern-over thirty different flowers adorn the collection.Each product is produced in a variety of different flowers and the whole mix and match pattern is unified by the unique style of drawing, the flitting butterflies and the distinctive leaf border. Botanic Garden has become one of the world's best selling tableware designs and is constantly changing with new motifs and products regularly added to the range.Since Portmeirion's tableware range is "Oven-to-Tableware," it can also be used for cooking. However, this pottery has been designed to perform perfectly satisfactorily at the lower range of temperatures normally used when cooking and should not be used at oven temperatures of over 170??C (340??F / UK Gas Mark 3).
