Portmeirion products are distributed to hundreds of countries all over the globe, as they are one of the leading tableware brands in the world. The manufacture of pottery products bearing the name “Portmeirion” began in 1960.
In the 1950s, Susan Williams-Ellis and her husband Euan Cooper-Willis began selling pottery in the gift shop in Portmeirion, a tourist village in North Wales which was created by Susan’s father. Some of the pottery was designed exclusively for the Portmeirion shop by Susan, who was then a freelance designer and illustrator. The pottery was manufactured and decorated by a small pottery business in Stoke-on-Trent.
IThe 1970's saw the birth of what is considered by many to be Portmeirion’s most recognised design, Botanic Garden. Launched in 1972, Botanic Garden was uniquely different - inspired by a serendipitous find of antique botanical books, and with a variety of individual floral decorations, it encapsulated the new mood for casual dining. It became an instant success and has become a classic British design, hailed as the world's most popular casual tableware design.
