Amazon.com Review
Introduced in 1974, Portmeirion's woodsy Birds of Britain tableware is based on a collection of naturalist sketches by Edward Donovan published in his 1794 volume Natural History of British Birds. The six 8-inch plates in this set are ideal for serving a salad or a dessert course and each features a different bird, offering subtle variety at each placesetting. The birds illustrated on this series of plates are the Hoopoe, White Wagtail, Rose-Colored Starling, Waxwing, Roller, and Turtle Dove. Birds are prominently featured in the foreground among sparse landscaping while a flowering vine winds around the rims. Made of dense earthenware that has been fired at high temperatures, the plates are resistant to chipping and safe for the dishwasher, freezer, microwave, and oven to 340 degrees F (170 degrees C). Birds of Britain dinnerware is designed for everyday use and Portmeirion guarantees that it will last a lifetime. --Cristina Vaamonde
