BOTANIC GARDEN 5 INCH DAISY FRUIT BOWL
Retired Flower - Hard To Find Size - Pretty Heartsease Outside!

I am pleased to offer a nice Botanic Garden Daisy or Bellis Perennis 5 inch fruit bowl. The more common fruit bowl size is 5.5 inches, so this one is a little smaller than usual. The Daisy and Heartsease (around the outside) motifs are still currently in production.

This bowl is in mint condition with no signs of use or wear. Please see the photos and full description below...

Portmeirion Botanic Garden Fruit Bowl

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.

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 7 to the right of the flower.
