Amazon.com Review
Inspired by 19th-century botanical illustrations, Portmeirion Botanic Garden dinnerware features a lush array of hand-painted blossoms. The pieces are perfect for a mix-and-match sensibility and suitable for year-round dining. Made in Britain from high-quality porcelain, they are safe in the oven, freezer, microwave, and dishwasher.

Sized for bread and butter or petite desserts, these Botanic Garden plates feature six different floral illustrations in vivid colors and painstaking detail. The plates have a coupe design, making them handy for vinegar and oil dipping, and a slanted rim trimmed in graceful laurel leaves. Six in all, the plates feature clusters of cyclamen, pansy, bindweed, primrose, daisy, and narcissus. The illustrations are labeled with the flowers’ Latin and common names in a clear typeface. Each plate measures 7-1/4 inches in diameter. --Emily Bedard

Customer Reviews

Beautiful but beware of the size
Excellent quality plates and excellent delivery through Amazon. However, be advised that these are called 6" Plates (BG05092) by Portmeirion, not "Bread and Butter" Plates (Portmeirion info on their B&B plates = 5"d; BG03704). As specified by Amazon, the full diameter on these BG05092 plates is 7.25" (I have no idea why Portmeirion calls them 6" - I put a ruler up to them, and precisely 6 inches of diameter doesn't fall anywhere obvious), and they are definitely larger than the typically-sized B&B plates. I like the larger size, as they can also be used for small salads or averaged-portioned desserts. If you're looking for the daintily-sized B&B plates, though, don't let the name of these fool you. They aren't Botanic Garden's formal B&Bs.

Very pleased
I received exactly what I ordered in excellent condition in a timely manner. PAM

This design is very elegant as well as informal. I put this china in the microwave.
