There is something unique about Portmeirion casual tableware that sets it apart from all others. Maybe it's the trend setting dinnerware patterns it's founder, Susan Williams-Ellis, designed in one of a kind shapes - like the ever-popular Portmeirion botanic garden series, or the Portmeirion Christmas collections that make gift giving these affordable items a wise decision. No matter the reason, Portmeirion dinnerware exceeds your expectations for quality, affordability and design like no other. Doesn't the Portmeirion Botanic Garden design take china dishes to a whole new level with it's beautiful floral patterns? Isn't the price more than reasonable for such fine quality and design? Isn't easy to see why Portmeirion dishes are considered one the leaders in causal dinnerware sets?

Susan Williams-Ellis was born to architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis in North Wales. Growing up around her father's creative friends and colleagues in Portmerion Village molded Susan into a skillful artist. Her father eventually asked her to create ceramics for his shop in the village and with that, her destiny was set forth. It was her and her husband, Euan Cooper-Willis, who started the Portmeirion studio in 1960 with a mission to produce affordable and beautiful Portmeirion dinnerware for the causal dining experience. After acquiring a pottery company, Portmeirion became Portmeirion Potteries, where her Portmeirion set designs are still being produced today.

In the beginning, designs like Malachite and Moss Agate rose in popularity. Pomona and the popular seasonal pattern, the Holly and the Ivy, garnered attention, along with the Portmeirion Roses collection and Portmeirion Christmas.

Recently, the Sophie Conran Portmeirion series has added oven-to-table cookware/dinnerware to the company's offerings. With versatility and functionality, and designs like Sage and White Oak, these casual dinnerware sets are more reasons why they have everything you are looking for.

Susan Williams-Ellis passed during 2007 and left behind a dedication carried on in the Portmeirion tableware that is still admired today. Whether it's a china dishes in the botanic garden Portmeirion design or a Portmeirion bowl with balance and beauty, Susan's affect on casual dinnerware made a deep impression in the world of art and porcelain dinnerware sets.
