While browsing the market stalls in Dorset, I always look out for interesting china items.
I spied this set from across the path & had to head over.
It is a set I have looked at online, Portmeirion's Enchanted Tree pattern with its cute forest animals & delicate woodland pattern.
The deer, rabbit & birds are set around a tree of life motif which is very pretty.
I bought the 2 plates, salad & cereal bowls he had & have decided they will become my everyday set I use at home instead of the white ones we use.
There are no extras on the Portmeirion website so it is a set that was a limited production & it is no longer produced.
However, I am not pleased that it is made abroad (China) instead of in our own potteries at Stoke on Trent.
I imagine it is a financial decision as production is cheaper abroad which really puts our pottery industry at a disadvantage.
I will use & enjoy them daily - much nicer than a plain set.
Do you have a specific pattern you use & enjoy? Tell all ...
Thank you for stopping by, please visit again soon,
Dee
