On Thanksgiving or for any special occasion, this lovely platter serves a main entree with an elegant presentation. This substantial 20-by-15-inch dish will impress guests filled with a large turkey, as well as roasts, leg of lamb, or whole fish surrounded by vegetables and trimmings. Featuring colorful hand-painted blooms selected from the floral motifs in the Botanic Garden pattern, this design by Portmeirion's co-founder, artist Susan Williams-Ellis was inspired by detailed 19th-century illustrations, labeled in script. Adorned with sweet fluttering butterflies and framed by the line's signature laurel leaf border, this plate complements a table set with the extensive collection of dinnerware and accessories. Crafted in England of high-quality stoneware that is dishwasher-, freezer- microwave-, and oven-safe up to 340 degrees F, though rapid and extreme temperature changes should be avoided. --Roberta Cruger
Product Description
The plants and butterflies that make up Botanic Garden are from the exquisitely hand colored illustrations in the finest natural history books of the early 19th Century. Reproduced with true craftsmanship, these flowers have the same brilliance and life they had when first painted over 150 years ago.
