PORTMEIRION ROB SCOTTON SPLAT CAT SET OF 6 PLACEMATS DELUXE
With Original Box - Very Heavy 'Deluxe' Set - Three Different Holiday Designs!
I am happy to present a set of six boxed cork backed placemats in the Splat Cat design
from the Rob Scotton Portmeirion Studio collection. In a Christmas theme,
the 12 x 9 inch set features two each of three different designs. This is the Deluxe set which is
very heavy and thick compared to the normal placemat. The set is in excellent condition with no sign of use or wear on any of the placemats. The box is basically sturdy but has a few minor scrapes on the top and a remnant of a sticker.
The Splat Cat collection was discontinued in
early 2007. I could not find anything on the box or placemats to indicate where they were
made and would assume they were manufactured in China. I
do not see any difference in quality between the older Portmeirion sets
made in the UK or New Zealand. They are of nice quality. Please see lots of photos and full description below.

The Splat Cat collection has recently been retired. It was designed by Rob
Scotton as part of the Portmeirion Studio collection. There are two each of the following designs...
---> Design 1 - Mr. And Mrs. Splat Cat <---
---> Design 2 - Splat Offering Pudding <---
---> Design 3 - Splat On Christmas Morning <---
There is a small mouse motif on the lower left of each mat.

Other Comments
The box is in nice sturdy condition with a few shallow marks on the top and separated at the on three edge corners. Nothing major. THE PHOTO OF THE BOX BELOW IS FROM ANOTHER SET.
A nice Christmas item for the Cat lover!
There is no ID mark or sticker on the cork back. I could not find anything on the box or placemats to indicate where they were
made and would assume they were made in China.
