A matching salt and pepper set is the finishing touch on any table, formal or casual. This hand-painted set from the Botanic Garden collection is ideal for any occasion. The plump, rounded shape of each piece means that they are easy to pick up and fit neatly in the hand. Of course they coordinate perfectly with the rest of the Botanic Garden collection, but the floral motifs on this set, while boldly colored, are delicate and subtle enough to complement any service.
More than 30 years ago the founder of Portmeirion Potteries was inspired by 19th-century botanical illustrations to create the Botanic Garden collection of tableware and cookware. Each piece is crafted from fine glazed earthenware and features highly detailed floral designs complemented by a simple border of green leaves to give the collection a coordinated look. Botanic Garden tableware is safe in the freezer, microwave, oven, and dishwasher, but it should not be subjected to sudden changes in temperature. --Simon Leake
