PORTMEIRION RARE SPICE AND HERB GARDEN VOTIVE CANDLE
Marjoram - Rarely Seen Retired Pattern!
|
I am pleased to offer a rare Portmeirion votive candle holder from the retired Spice And Herb
Garden pattern. It dates to about 1998 and are usually seen on spice jars, very unusual and hard to find,
although other shapes were made in this pattern.
This item, made from china rather than pottery, is a special decoration with
an oval green ID mark. It is a unique item and was made
for sale in the Portmeirion factory store. There are no quality issues on this minty item.
---> Front <---
The Herb And Spice collection is a set of 25 different spice jars. Other
shapes are rarely seen. Each spice is accompanied by a Botanic Garden butterfly.
---> Back <---
Within a wreath of spices, the back carries a brief description of Marjoram.

The bottom carries a green oval 'Portmeirion Pottery, Stoke On Trent, Made
In England' ID mark. It was no doubt made in a 'special decoration' production run.
