BOTANIC GARDEN SQUARE HEARTSEASE COASTER - BLACK BORDER
Unusual Thick BG Coaster - Current Oatmeal Flower - Excellent!

I am happy to present a unique Botanic Garden 4 inch square coaster featuring the Heartsease or Viola Tricolor surrounded by black and gold tone edge. It is thicker than the usual Portmeirion coaster with a paper (or melamine) top and has a felt backing. It is much more substantial then the usual cork backed coasters.

It is like new with the Portmeirion sticker still attached to the back.

Portmeirion Botanic Garden Thick Coaster

The Heartsease flower is an original 1972 coffee cup motif and remains in production today. It was based on an illustration by William Clarke in Mrs. Hey's botany book,Moral of Flowers.

Portmeirion Botanic Garden Plate Thick Felt Coaster Back
---> Back Side <---

The surface is a shiny paper (or melamine?) and the base feels like wood. The black covering material also goes around to cover the sides. The back is covered with a dark green felt material. Botanic Garden coasters are usually sold in sets of six in a box, but I believe these coasters were sold individually.

A sticker on the back says:

PORTMEIRION
