Portmeirion is a world-renowned English pottery brand, founded in 1960 by Susan Williams-Ellis. The Botanic Garden collection, launched in 1972, quickly became iconic for its naturalistic floral and butterfly illustrations taken from 18th–19th century botanical books. Pieces marked “circa 1818” reflect the inspiration source, not the actual production date. This vase is most likely produced between 1970s–1980s.
Botanic Garden vases remain highly collectible and are often displayed as both functional and decorative pieces.
