Editorial Reviews:
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).
Amazon.com Review On any occasion, create an impressive presentation with this lovely tureen and ladle in Portmeirion's classic Botanic Garden collection. Serve soups, chowders, bisques, and stews in this refined serving piece, and dish into matching bowls from the pattern, decorated in a variety of hand-painted blooms. Framed by the signature leaf chain border, over 30 flowers are featured in this distinctive line from pink azalea to lavender clematis with sweet butterflies hovering nearby. Inspired by 19th-century floral illustrations, this design by artist Susan Williams-Ellis adorns cookware, serveware, dinnerware, and accessories. Crafted in England of high-quality stoneware, this freezer-to-oven-to-table piece is dishwasher-safe and oven-safe to 390 degrees F. This tureen doubles as a centerpiece and makes an exceptional gift. --Roberta Cruger
