PORTMEIRION HARVEST BLUE SORBET DISH
Very Unusual To Find In The Harvest Blue Range - Very nice!
|
I am pleased to offer a rare Harvest Blue sorbet bowl. It is a little over 5 inches wide across the top and,
including the pedestal, is 5 inches high.
It is a very uncommon shape in the Harvest Blue range. NOTE: I have two of these listed. They are two slightly different shapes where one
is has a rounded rim on the top and the other has a flat rim on the top. They look almost identical and
very hard to tell the difference. The photos below are from the bowl with a rounded rim, however, I took
photos of the flat rim version and could not tell the difference in the pictures.
It is in great condition with bright colors and shiny glaze with only a few very minor signs of use. The
Harvest Blue pattern was retired years ago and this rare item is very hard to
find. Please be sure to look below for a full description and more photos.
This pattern, conceived in 1995 by Angharad Menna, was designed to be reminiscent of
1700's Dutch art:
'giving the feel of an old established orchard where flowers are planted among
the fruit trees and roses tangle with the vines'
Unfortunately, this lovely pattern was discontinued in 1999.
