Portmeirion Botanic Garden Two-Tier Cake Server

Editorial Review:

A 2007 addition to Portmeirion's perennially popular and ever-evolving Botanic Garden tableware pattern, this two-tier cake server is an Amazon exclusive. Each white porcelain tier features a hand-decorated selection from the collection's vast repertoire of 19th-century botanical illustrations. The upper, smaller tier showcases the light and deep pink petals of the graceful fuchsia flower with blue and yellow butterflies in attendance. The lower, larger tier is adorned with the purple and white Sweet William with its own bevy of butterflies joined by a curious little bird. The names of both plants are listed in old-fashioned typeface and Botanic Garden's signature laurel-leaf accent motif rings the rims. Connecting the two tiers is a lustrous gold-tone post with ring handle. The metal fitting is removable for easy cleaning. Some assembly is required. --Kara Karll

The surfaces of the plates have tiny pock marks all over, especially the... more info

great for tea and cookies:

This goes so nice with the tea set. Great for tea and cookies. Really pretty. Nicely packed and safely shipped on time.

Beautiful and a Great Price!:

I have been collecting this pattern for years, and this particular item on Amazon is a great buy! Be aware that many Portmeirion Botanic Garden products are now being manufactured in China and the quality of them has decreased considerably. I am pretty sure this one is made in England.
