PORTMEIRION WELSH DRESSER 9 INCH SALAD BOWL
New Condition With No Sign Of Use - X Through 2nd For Unknown Reason
|
I am pleased to offer a minty Portmeirion Welsh Dresser 9 inch salad bowl with a partial UPC code still attached to the bottom.
It is in perfect condition with no flaws or signs of use. The UPC code is still attached to the bottom. However, it has an X scratched through the ID mark. I looked and looked and even soaked it in water looking for flaws. The only flaw I see is very minor pin-head sized red mark near the bottom foot. There is also a tiny glaze bubble (very common) on the inside bottom. I have no idea why this bowl has an X through the ID.
Otherwise, it is perfect with no wear or signs of use. Please be sure to look below to see a full description and lots more photos.
This pattern, designed by Angharad Menna, emulates old Llanelli Ware.
Produced for 100 years, but unable to compete with other potters, Llanelli
Ware stopped production in the early 1900's. Portmeiron's Welch Dresser is a
continuation of this art.

The Welsh Dresser pattern, unfortunately, was retired a few years ago
and is becoming difficult to find.

A very hard to find Welsh Dresser salad bowl!

The bottom is marked with a Portmeirion Logo Welsh Dresser ID mark used in the early 1990's. As mentioned above, the ID mark has an X scratch through. Except for a little red mark near the bottom, I do not see any flaws at all.
