Portmeirion Botanic Garden Tablescape

A true classic favorite, Porteirion's Botanic Garden dinnerware has been produced since 1972 and is as popular now as it was then. Our collection is limited to dinner plates but Pat can always come up with different looking tablescapes simply by changing the charger or color theme or something else as easy.

The table this week uses Bordallo Pinheiro "Geranium" for the charger and vintage Fiesta(ware) "Forest Green" for the bread and butter plate.




Flatware is "Butterfly" by Godinger


As most people know, I collect Fiesta(ware) bread and butter plates - vintage "Forest Green" was manufactured from 1951 through 1959.

The sweet glassware is called "Lawrence" from Pier 1 several years ago





One last look from the other end of the table
