Glaze remains bright and reflective throughout, making them a lovely authentic vintage set.

Description
A delightful set of four vintage Portmeirion fine pottery footed egg cups from the iconic "The Botanic Garden" collection, originally designed by Susan Williams-Ellis. Made in England. This charming set features a diverse selection of traditional botanical illustrations, including vibrant floral motifs and butterflies, all beautifully framed by the signature green laurel leaf border around the bases. A wonderfully cohesive set to elevate any classic British breakfast table or add to an active country kitchen display.
Each footed egg cup measures approximately 5.5 cm (2.1 inches) in height and 5 cm (2 inches) in rim diameter.
Vintage Ceramics Disclaimer
As is normal with all authentic vintage pottery of this era, minor natural manufacturing specks, micro-fine surface rub marks from stacked storage, or faint under-glaze crazing lines could be present under close inspection. Notably, fine under-glaze crazing is visible upon interior inspection, and minor shelf-wear marks are present on the foot rims, adding genuine vintage character without compromising the structural integrity of the ceramic.
Please inspect all the provided photographs closely to satisfy yourself with the exact measurements and condition before purchasing.
