Items I bought last year were lovely and have worn well through use and the dishwasher. Even though seconds there was no evidence of flaws that I could see.

ETA some links
6 of 8 inch plates for £14 reduced from £81

(also 6 of 6 inch plates for £14 reduced from £72)

6 x 5.5 inch bowls for £18 reduced from £90

(other bowls also in the sale)

Also
6 x garden mugs £20.25 from £81
6 x oatmeal bowls £20.25 from £81
Soup toureen and lid £51.25 from £205

Also, jugs, vases, trays, salt pepper pots, lotion dispenser, airtight containers, flower pots, butter dish. Site running too slow to put up all the links. But well worth a look if you like this range. In previous years additional items have been added during the week or so the sale was on so worth checking back.

Free shipping on orders over £99, otherwise £4.95.
It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.

    I was mindlessly washing up and wondering what the plates were trying to tell me when the penny dropped .... blush!
    Just placed my order.
    As has already been said, even if they are seconds the quality is excellent and I can't see the flaws.
    I agree, prices are up on last year, but I think they are worth it.


    Edited to add - should breakage occur in transit they replace quickly if you email a photograph.
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.

    What is this Portmeirion of which you speak, I have never heard of it.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    same here, can't get on. I am 57 and up until last year had a hotch potch of different plates, none of which I really liked - it is nice to sit down to meal with an attractive plate and also makes washing up easier!
