Could be worth noting that they are seconds.

Portmeirion Botanic Garden Seconds 10 Inch Plate (R) Set of 6 No Guarantee of Flower Design

There is no guarantee of which flower design will be received on this item.


The Selection of flower designs could be six of the same, six different or any combination in between. Flower designs could be non-UK motifs and motif may vary from image shown.


What is the difference between a first and a second? All pottery is manually inspected and only pieces which pass the highest standards are classified as first quality. An item is classified as a second where there is a marginal fault to the finish, the decoration or the shape. The fault is not structural, i.e. each piece still functions as intended and is usable. Unfortunately, seconds cannot normally be exchanged.

I bought from their seconds sale last year. No duplicates were sent and the vast majority of the pieces I couldn't see why they were seconds. Where I could it was very minor. Was very happy with what I got.

I have wanted to buy these 'seconds' for ages but not sure of what I'll actually receive. Any more stories of people who have actually purchased please. I love the designs.

I bought 6 dinner plates a few years ago and am very very pleased with the quality. I did get two plates the same though, but it really didn't matter.

I bought 6 pasta bowls and was delighted with them. I have now ordered 6 plates. Can't tell they are seconds at all

I didn't buy anything last year but did the previous 2 years. Couldn't tell they were seconds. I was very pleased with both orders.Customer services were great when I realised I'd ordered the wrong size of a particular item.

Yes I agree I filled my cupboards a few years back & am delighted with them.
Did get some duplicate designs but it doesn't matter. All beautiful.
In fact still have a pile in the corner of my counter of surplus tea plates,
just in case

As others have said, it's really hard to see why they are seconds. You can't specify the pattern but I'm just glad to find beautiful crockery I can afford!

When some arrived broken they replaced them straight away. (I'm going to try making a mosaic!)

:rotfl:Yes I had a broken one one that was replaced instantly. I bag up my broken 'accidents' & give them to a local craft group

Another happy purchaser here - like Snap-ant I have filled my cupboard too. Plates, bowls and mugs, all bought two years ago, are used daily and go through the dishwasher regularly.


A couple of the bowls have the central motif very slightly off-centre but otherwise you can't tell if they are seconds or not.


I've ordered a set of bowls this time - only because we've broken a couple of the originals by dropping them on the tiled floor!
