x Botanic Garden Set of 6 Plates - White Dinner Plates with Floral Motifs and Butterflies, Dishwasher & Microwave Safe, Made in England, Suitable for Everyday Dining or Picnics, 25cm

I needed to replace some broken or scratched Portmeirion plates – some were over 30 years old. A few belonged to my father and were about 50 years old!! A real testament to their quality. These plates are extremely hard-wearing and tough. They are over a quarter of an inch (6mm) thick and so quite heavy. The glaze is very thick and shiny, giving good protection to the pattern. They are microwave, dishwasher, freezer and oven friendly, attractive and very long-lasting. Overall, they are extraordinarily high quality. The plates I purchased were identical diameter to my originals, they even stack together precisely. In my experience there are only three ways to damage these plates. Place it on a hot vitroceramic hob which will crack it, drop it onto a stone floor or use an electric carving knife on it (even this strong glazing will be damaged). Otherwise these plates are virtually indestructible!

i needed to replace two Portmeirion Botanic plates but ended up buying this set of six. Amazon's price made it cheaper to do this than to track down only two as it appears the pattern in becoming increasingly difficult to find. We were unexpectedly delighted with this purchase and the wonderful variety of designs. This is good, practical china that goes in the dishwasher and, despite my two accidents on a stone floor, the plates are very hard-wearing. Not everyone likes Portmeirion Botanic but we find the variety of flowers charming. The set arrived on time and in excellent condition.

The 6 plates are superb. Unfortunately my shipment arrived significantly shattered due to insufficient packaging, I believe. The seller and Amazon Customer Service were both individually extremely good in dealing with the problem with me and this really was great. I bought a replacement set because the set was so attractive. Thank you to the seller and to Amazon for turning around a sticky and frustrating situation.

They are what they are. If you are a user of Portmeirion crockery you'll know what to expect, and they are a good price. Lost one star in rating as one plate had a fault in the writing - is a second being sold without giving that info?

Just what we ordered. Nice size sturdy dinner plate.

Both design & quality of plates are excellent - thank you. TB

Unfortunate one plate was broken and I cannot find anywhere to report this

covid lockdown can put your mind into a depressing, dark and siloed world buy these plates and see your mind fly into a delightfully colourful world of beauty and joy Best way to beat covid :) (caveat: this is ofcourse not a medical advice)

Beautifully designed and made!

Finally got a set in one piece. Previously ordered and returned broken. Better packaging this time. Great product. Looks amazing. Love the floral designs.

Consegna in ritardo, ma i piatti sono perfetti e bellissimi. Nessun danno.

Trotz der Lieferung aus England erfolgte die Lieferung sogar drei Tage früher als angekündigt. Die Teller sind makellos und der Preis ist ebenfalls top!

I have been a fan of Portmeirion since the mid 1970's. I was very excited to see that there were additional dinner plates that I could add to two previous editions (1972 and approximately 2003) to give my set 18 different designs. The three different issues blend together nicely. Don't let the word "Exotic" deter you from adding to any of the other editions of these plates. To me, these are just another extension to a beautiful line of dinnerware. There are some actual plate design differences between the three editions, however, they still stack nicely and no one would probably notice unless they look at the plates' undersides to detect this. One of the plates from this specific set does have several flaws on its underside. Not sure how this will hinder the plate's performance in the future, but I'll update this review if I notice anything that causes me to reduce this rating to 4 stars instead of 5. Finally, my experience with Portmeirion as a whole has been a good one. In the 40+ years that I have owned this line, I have had only two "casualties" with neither being a fault of the manufacture of the dish. These dishes have held up to everyday use and are still almost as beautiful as the day I got them. I expect the same from this recent purchase and I highly recommend that anyone interested in Portmeirion to give this set a try. They are truly beautiful.
