I am pleased to present a Botanic Garden 6 inch wide round Crocus and Snowdrop or Crocus and Galanthus ceramic trivet. The felt backed trivets, made in the UK, have been retired. This item carries the 'light' version of the motif (with a white butterfly wing).

It is in perfect condition, with an exceptional transfer.


The Crocus and Snowdrop was a bread and butter plate motif, introduced in 1980 and retired in 2000. There are two color versions of this motif where the biggest difference is in the pink butterfly wing. The lower wing is grey in the 'Dark' version and white in the 'Light Version' Also, the darker has more pronounced and deeper accents at the edges of the flowers and leaves. It was inspired by image in a 1830 botany book,Romance of Flowers. by Louisa Twomley.
