Individuals and their families can rethink their tableware in light of the increased popularity of eating at home after the Covid-19 pandemic. You can also adopt a dog or install a trampoline in your backyard to refresh the family’s dishes and lift your spirits.
The Botanic Garden collection of Portmeirion is full of vibrant color and British charm. Susan Williams-Ellis designed the collection in 1972. It is based upon early-19th-century floral illustration. The real flowers are accented and bordered in the classic triple leaf design.
With the Botanic Garden Collection, you can make your own garden tables with more than 23 floral patterns included in the 30-piece mealware set. Six pieces of each dinner plate, sideplate, cereal bowl, pasta dish, and tankard cup are included in the set. The side plate can be used for appetizers, snacks or desserts while the cereal bowls can be used for ice cream and salad. The pasta bowl can also be used to make soups or salads.
Each piece is handcrafted in Stoke-on-Trent by 22 people. It is known as the birthplace of English pottery.
Botanic Garden tableware has been designed for everyday use. These items are microwave, oven, freezer, and oven-safe for maximum flexibility in cooking, cleaning, and meal preparation.
These are some tips to make the most of your tableware.
* Tableware items such as plates, bowls, and mugs can be placed in a warm oven (225 degrees Fahrenheit or lower), but should not be used for cooking.
* Cookware items including roasters, casseroles, and ramekins are designed to be used for cooking up to temperatures of 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
* When microwaving, “remember that ceramics will pick up some of the heat created in the microwave, so use care in holding handles or picking up plates,”According to the company’s website.
* Cleaning is easy in the dishwasher; the company recommends liquid detergents instead of the powdered variety to help preserve the design and color.
