I am pleased to offer a Botanic Garden 8 inch canister with the retired African Daisy or Arctotis grandiflora motif. The African Daisy was introduced in 1972 on dinner plates and retired in 1990.

This jar is in great condition with no crazing and very bright orange color. There is a factory flaw (fully glazed over) on the left side flower so please be sure to see the full description and close up photos below.


The African Daisy was an original dinner plate motif produced from 1972 until retired in 1990. It was inspired by image in a 1824 book,The Universal Herbal by Thomas Green.

---> Top Angle <---

Size	About 8-1/4" high, with the lid, 4-3/4" across the bottom
Transfer	Except for a factory flaw on the left side flower, shown below, the transfer is excellent with very bright colors
Ground	Very white
Glaze	NO crazing or any other glaze flaw
Chips/Cracks	None
Stains	None, except for a slight bit of common shelf wear on the bottom foot
Use Marks	None
Other Comments	There is only one dry streak on the lid's varnish. And, as came from the factory, the bottom side of the lid was not finished with the same color as the top. Otherwise, there is no wear on the lid as is so common on wooden Portmeirion canister lids. The gasket still holds a nice tight seal. A useful and very nice retired African Daisy canister with exceptionally bright orange color.

The bottom is marked with a relatively large Crest ID backstamp.
