A Portmeirion 10.5 Inch Oval Plate, From The Birds Of Britain Series By Susan Williams-Ellis.
A beautiful oval plate featuring the Turtle Dove from the very popular but now discontinued Birds Of Britain range of Portmeirion pottery. The border is the later branch and acorn border.
Approx Dimensions:-
10.5 in (26.5 cm) x 7.5 (19 cm)
Birds Of Britain
Susan Williams-Ellis originally conceived the idea for a Birds Of Britain range in 1974. The beautiful and highly decorative illustrations were taken from the book 'Natural History Of British Birds' by E. Donovan. The range launched in 1977, initially exclusively to John Lewis in the UK and Bitossi in Italy. This design became most popular in the USA and Europe but for some reason not so much in the UK, which Susan could never understand. The Barn Owl was removed to please the Italian market, where they were considered an ill omen, and the Black Cock was removed as it's name was thought to discourage sales. These two designs have since become highly collectable as they are much rarer than others, as they were discontinued in 1985. The whole range was discontinued around 1997, although some special orders were still available up to 2002.
