VINTAGE PORTMEIRION MONTE SOL 10 INCH PLATE - HARD TO FIND!
Excellent Condition - Rare Blue And Green Vintage Plate!
|
I am pleased to offer a vintage Portmeirion Monte Sol 10 inch plate. It is in
wonderful condition with only some typical very clean and fine crazing. Very
hard to see especially on the front. Please see all the photos and full description below.
Reminiscent of
the Psychedelic days of the late 1960's and early 1970's, this vintage
Portmeirion pattern was designed by Susan Williams-Ellis when she was visiting
the Balearic Islands off of Spain.
---> Side View <---
The ground is white with a Moorish green and blue design. Moors are a
medieval Muslim culture and some live today in present day Spain and Portugal.
The Monte Sol design was discontinued long, long ago in the 1970's and is no
longer available.

Could not be better with no scratches or missing paint. Nice bright colors.

Overall crazing is present, but especially on the front, is very fine, hard to
see and present only in spots. On the design, it is very hard to see. Crazing is typical on vintage older Portmeirion.

On the back, there are a few tiny spots that are darker.

Use Marks |
None. There are no scratches (not even little stacking marks) or signs of use. However, it likely has been used.
