I am pleased to offer a Botanic Garden 5.5 inch fruit bowl that carries the Daisy or Bellis Perennis motif. Daisy is still used on B and B plates and often used as an accent along with coffee cup flowers on large bowls. The outside is surrounded by a ring of the Forget-Me-Not motif. It is unusual that it has a green number near the plant name.

This bowl is in overall nice condition with few signs of use. However, is overall clean crazing present. Please see the photos and full description below...


The Daisy was an original 1972 flower on bread and butter plates and still remains in production today. It is based on an image found in the 1835 botany book with illustrations by William Clarke,Moral of Flowers, and written by Mrs. Hey.

The Forget-Me-Not 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.

During the late 1970's and early 1980's, Portmeirion used a numbering system on some motifs. This item has a very pale green number 1 near the bottom of the flower.

Size	5-1/2" across and about 2-3/4" high
Transfer	All are vibrant and colorful
Ground	Very white
Glaze	Very shiny glaze overall with no flaws except a tiny speck of sand imbedded in the glaze. VERY tiny and mentioned only to be completely accurate! There is very clean and fine crazing overall. With crazing, however, it should only be used with dry foods and washed by hand quickly in clean dishwater.
Chips/Cracks	None
Stains	None except for some common shelf wear on the unglazed bottom ring where it sits on a surface.
Use Marks	None except as above
Other Comments	A unique BG Daisy fruit bowl with a green number!

The bottom is marked with a 2nd Trophy ID and was likely made in the late 1970's to early 1980's.
