I am happy to present a very nice Portmeirion Birds Of Britain pin dish featuring a Goldfinch bird.

It is in excellent condition with no use or wear marks but does have one very small (about 1/8") and very clean line of crazing.


The Birds Of Britain pattern illustrations were taken from the 'Natural History Of British Birds' by Edward Donovan which was printed in 1794.

During the late 1970's and early 1980's, Portmeirion used a numbering system for various motifs. This bird has a number '1' on the right side of the dish.

---> ID Mark <---

It is fully marked with the blue-gray Donovan 1796 ID mark.
