I am pleased to offer a vintage Portmeirion 'Warrens Exhibition Rotary Knife Cleaner' Chemist Prints large 20 oz jumbo mug. The Chemist Prints pattern have not been made in many, many years.

The color in the photos below is a little washed out on the center right side of the transfer because of a little photo light glare. In person, the color is a consistent dark pink.


Soon after Susan Williams-Ellis bought Kirkham Pottery around 1960, she produced a new pattern called Medicine Prints based on old copper engravings found in Kirkham's attic. Shortly after, Medicine Prints turned into Chemist Prints and was sold throughout the 1960's. Chemist Prints are found on many different shapes and transfers are found in both color and black and white.
