PORTMEIRION COUNTRYSIDE BATH BEAKER MUG
Unusual Vintage Pattern With Off White Ground - Discontinued 1970s Item!
|
I am pleased to offer an excellent Portmeirion Countryside pattern bath
beaker mug. This pattern, mostly seen with an unusual
pink colored ground, is often found on Portmeirion bath range shapes.
This beaker has an off white, maybe with a touch of pink, background rather than the more commonly seen pink.
This item is in wonderful condition with no crazing or flaws.
Please be sure to see the full description below.
The Dog Rose transfer is quite large, wrapping around much of the cup. Not
pictured, there is a smaller flower bud on the back.

The Countryside pattern was produced in the 1980's and, I think, discontinued
around 1983 or 1985. It was a Portmeirion 'open stock' pattern and likely
purchased for use on other manufacturer's ceramics or pottery pieces. On Portmeirion, it
is mostly found on bathroom pieces, however, have rarely seen entire dinner sets.

A hard to find example of a Countryside bath beaker mug.

The ID mark a mustard color oval 2nds backstamp. I do not see many
Countryside items, however, have never seen any backstamp other than the mustard 2nds ID.
