BOTANIC GARDEN VARIATIONS SPEEDWELL LARGE 1.75PT WATER JUG
Retired Hard To Find Sub-Pattern - Great Condition!
|
I am happy to present a very nice Portmeirion Speedwell or Veronica Chamaedrys large 1.75pt water
jug. This Speedwell decoration is part of the discontinued Botanic Garden Variations sub pattern.
The pitcher is in excellent condition with shiny and crisp transfers!
Botanic Garden Variations pattern was introduced in 1990 and discontinued
in 2000. All pieces feature an edge of Rhododendron and Forget-Me-Not
and have a smaller version of the center BG motif.
