The classically inspired Porcelain Garden collection comprises a full range of tableware for tea, lunch and dinner featuring delicately executed flowers, birds and butterflies on scalloped porcelain.

Licensing our designs is a key part of the strategy for our brands to become a lifestyle offer where our own wallpapers and fabrics are complemented by high-quality accessories throughout the home and beyond. We wish Portmeirion and Blueprint every success with these product launches."
