POMONA RED CURRANT 16 BY 12 INCH TABLEMAT
Popular Retired Currant - Unique And Retired Item - Nice Condition With Sticker!
|
I am pleased to present a retired Pomona red acrylic tablemat featuring the Red Currant motif on the face.
These large tablemats have not been made for several years and are especially
unique because of the red background color. This item
looks unused and still has the 'Made In England' Portmeirion goldtone sticker
attached to the back. There is a tiny flaw on an edge, so please see the detailed desciption below...
In person, the background red is more like a brick red. On my monitor the
red is brighter than the actual color. The background might look a little
uneven due to some uneven photo lighting, but is is a consistent color overall.
The Red Currant fruit has been retired for at least several years and is a very popular Pomona motif.
It is about 15-3/4" by 11-3/4" and is about 1/4" thick. It appears to be made
from a pressboard base with a acrylic transfer on the front and a layer of cork on the back.
On the lower right corner there is one very small dot where the red has flaked
off. The area is too small to measure or photograph. It is in overall super condition with no other flaws!
Here are cleaning instructions I found on some literature from the time it was made:
Coated with an acrylic finish. Will withstand temperatures to the boiling point of
water. Resistant to normal household stains, Clean with a damp sponge and
dry with a soft cloth. Not suitable as cutting boards. Do not immerse in water.
The color of the cork is a consistent color over all. The darker color on
the right is from uneven photo lighting.

There is a round gold tone sticker on the back that says:
