I am pleased to offer an excellent 4 inch wide Portmeirion Birds Of Britain canister with a ceramic lid. The lid carries the Redstart and the base shows the Willow Warbler. The Willow Warbler was discontinued early and hard to find.

This piece is in excellent condition with shiny glaze, NO CRAZING or wear, and a tight fitting lid!


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