Lot #8: Rare Vintage 1960s Portmeirion Coffee Set Variations Orange and Black MCM

Designed in 1964, this coffee set features abstract designs in a classic mid century modern style. Made in Britain. The orange and black colours make it unusual! This is a very rare and hard to find pattern, especially in a set like this. Similar to the "Magic City" and "Magic Garden" patterns from Portmeirion. (Not to be confused with the later pattern called Variations which was a variation of Botanic Garden). One coffee pot (12 1/2" tall!), 4 cups and saucers, one cream, one sugar. A complete set! My fastidious and persnickety condition notes: One of the cups has a fleabite near the handle (shown). The button on the coffee pot lid may have been re-glued, but it is not at all visible when used. Hard to tell if thats just how it was made. Most pieces have clear crazing normal with age, but no staining or discolouration except a little darkening on the creamer. As you can see it is a very handsome looking set! Pickup category timeslot {A}
