Portmeirion Sophie Conran Serving Bowl

Sophie Conran and Portmeirion share a love and respect for contemporary design and traditional artisan values. The White Oak dinnerware collection draws its inspiration from the English countryside where Sophie grew up, and from her frequent visits to her fathers carpentry workshop. Memories of watching felled trees being transformed into sculptural forms, and gathering seed pods, leaves and flowers in the countryside are the foundations for the dinnerware collections hand-carved texture and organic shapes. Fine yet durable, delicate yet entirely practical, White Oak echoes the beauty of nature and the spirit of the human hand.
