BOTANIC GARDEN MEDIUM 1.45pt PUDDING BASIN
Retired Shape - Excellent Shiny Condition - Five Flowers!

I am pleased to offer a medium size 1.45 pint Botanic Garden Pudding Basin. This shape has been retired for a few years. Pudding basins are now hard to come by and this one is in excellent condition with few, if any, signs of use. It likely has never been used as it had a partial UPC code on the bottom when I received it (since removed).

There are five BG flowers (most medium pudding basins have four) surrounding the outside of the bowl. Please look below to see all the photos and description.

The bowl is surrounded by four BG coffee cup motifs, Cyclamen, Heartsease, Forget-Me-Not, and Speedwell, and one more that is a B & B plate flowers, the Daisy.

The Heartsease 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.

The Ivy Leaved Cyclamen flower was an original oatmeal bowl motif, introduced in 1972, moved to a B & B plate in 1985, and still remains in production today. There are two different insect and flower versions. The oldest has four flower heads and the newer has nine heads. It was based on an image in an 1840 book,La Flore des Dames by A. Jacquemart.
