Portmeirion Botanic Garden 10.5" Dinner Plate - Set of 6 | Assorted Floral Motifs | Fine Earthenware | Chip Resistant Glaze | Dishwasher, Microwave, Freezer, Oven Safe | Made in England

You cannot go wrong with these. We bought our first large set of Portmeirion Botanic Garden dishes, assorted bowls, mugs, serving dishes, etc. back in 1982 on our honeymoon in Bermuda. They are beautiful and have held up, almost all of them are into their fourth decade. Gradually, we have had to replace several that were under daily use from losses due accidents - and only a few due to age. Not bad in terms of decades of use, going from the oven to table and thousands of dishwasher cycles. Instead of the regular Botanicals my wife elected to try out the Exotic Botanic Garden variety. These blend in well with the regular botanical dishes with perhaps a little more flare. Otherwise, they remain the same in terms of beauty, quality and longevity. We use them for everyday dining and for entertaining. - JPK

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.

I have had Portmeirion dishes for many years. Never have I tired of them. My daughter suggested I replace several as they have gotten faded during the years. So happy with them. Highly recommended!!!

It’s a beautiful plate that I will be using as a wall hanging. It came quickly and was wrapped well in bubble wrap to protect it during shipping.

This is a wonderful set of dinner plates. We needed to replace a broken plate from our set of dishes (I dropped it on our hard tile floor and it shattered into a million pieces). We could either buy one plate for about $34 or a set of 6 for $99. So we bought 6. They match perfectly in design and size. Love them - especially the recently added sunflower plate!

These match my existing set. These plates are very durable but after 10 years of daily use 2 of the dinner plated were cracked. Replaced with these. Same great quality as originals,style the same with the addition of 1 plate being a sunflower!

I loved these plates but out of 6 dinner plates, 6 of them have developed cracks or crazing. I do put them in the dishwasher, along with my other plates from other companies, but do not put them in the oven. This is very very disappointing because they are not cheap. I don't know what's happening to Portmeirion glazes but the quality has gone down tremendously. I cannot say that they're specifically from this vendor, however.

You cna get these chapter at your local discount stores, but I needed them quickly with little fuss. They look nice and seem new.

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 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!
