Customer Reviews of Portmeirion Botanic Garden Tea Cup and Saucer, Set of 6
Customer Rating:  Summary: each cup different Comment: Each cup has different flowers, all lovely. Nice size for a good cup of tea. I love the whole set. Customer Rating:  Summary: a new introduction, but the old was better Comment: Portmeirion introduces and discontinues items within a line, and has done so since they introduced Botanic Garden in 1972. Even the plates, which only have six flowers at any given time have had numerous flowers offered over the years. They have downsized the tureen. Fortunately, many discontinued items can still be found if one searches hard enough. This is a new "traditional" style tea cup in a 7oz. they are trying to come up with something more delicate than the traditional heavy stoneware. It replaces the previous 7oz romantic-traditional shape and the original drum shape tea cups. (the original tea pot was drum shape too.) They have discontinued the coffee cup that was 9oz; "Breakfast cup", 12oz (same saucer size as the gravy boat); and Latte cup, 20oz. (my daughter likes it for cereal/soup.) I'm giving this a three only because I'm not sure if I'm going to keep them or send them back and search for the older romantic shaped, heavier stoneware (and more expensive) tea cups. Customer Rating: Summary: Shrunk in the Mail Comment: Portmeirion Botanic Garden Tea Cup and Saucer, Set of 6 They are considerably smaller than the set i purchased in England ... i think maybe 6 ozs rather than 12 ozs. And obviously the saucers are smaller too. I kept the product but was greatly disappointed. The cup size should be printed, and in fact they cost more than the larger ones. The price was high in general, as i found them cheaper in a store near home. Internet shopping learning curve for me indeed. More Reviews Inspired by 19th-century botanical illustrations, artist Susan Williams-Ellis has created a truly unique mix-and-match collection for Portmeirion. Designed in 1972, Botanic Garden features more than 30 different floral and butterfly designs, with new designs joining the collection on a regular basis. Each scene has been painstakingly reproduced by hand with every detail beautifully rendered. Butterflies flutter about, flowers bend in the breeze, and a distinctive leaf border can be found on each item in the collection. This lovely 12-piece set includes six 7-ounce tea cups and six matching 6-inch saucers. The bowl of each small cup is adorned with a different flower motif and a medley of butterflies, while the signature leaf pattern borders the edge of each saucer. The decorative flower clusters include: cinquefoil, common vetch, harebell, herb robert, sweet violet, and white campion. The Botanic Garden collection incorporates a full line of coordinating table settings, bakeware, serving items, and giftware. Made in Britain from high-quality earthenware, each tableware piece is safe in the dishwasher, microwave, oven, and freezer. --Lea Werbel 
Choosing Appliance -> Fridge / Freezers A large number of freezers have eliminated defrosting by continually circulating the air inside the freezer compartment, thus avoiding frost build-up -- a feature well worth paying a little extra for. Choosing Appliance -> Mixer Pretty much the same thoughts as the food processor. High quality mixers are great for making bread or other tough jobs. Every kitchen should have one. Be sure that any mixer has all three attachments: paddle, dough hook, and whip. Also, find a spot on the counter where it can be easily accessed at a moment's notice.
