More Information
Portmeirion Pomona is a versatile pattern that will work with a wide range of decors. Other serving and accessory pieces may be available, complete (or start) your pattern today! Portmeirion Potteries began as a small pottery decorating firm in 1960. In Stoke-on-Trent, England, Susan Williams-Ellis and her husband, Euan Cooper-Willis, purchased a small facility, the A.E. Gray Company. By 1961, they purchased a second pottery facility called Kirkham's Ltd. Susan and Euan released their first successful pattern, called Totem, in 1961. By chance, Susan stumbled upon a nineteenth century botanical identification guide. She set to work designing a new series of china based on the pictures from the book. With the new designs, Portmeirion released Botanic Garden in 1972. Today, Botanic Garden now accounts for half of Portmeirion's revenue. With an ever-watchful eye, Susan would discontinue shapes and designs and work to create new pieces for each of her patterns. This is one of the reasons that Portmeirion's patterns remain so popular today. Collectors love adding new pieces to their collection and carefully watching as other pieces are discontinued. Today, Portmeirion remains one of the most popular pottery manufacturers in the world.
