Set of 4 Portmeirion Botanic Garden Espresso Coffee Cups and Saucers, Vintage English Floral Demitasse Set, Speedwell Daisy Pansy

This lot features a set of four vintage demitasse coffee cup and saucer pairs from the iconic Botanic Garden collection by the British manufacturer Portmeirion. Each drum shaped cup features a distinct botanical illustration Speedwell Veronica, Cotton Flower, Heartsease Viola, and Daisy Bellis perennis complemented by saucers decorated with the signature green laurel leaf border.

Produced in Stoke-on-Trent, England, this range became a benchmark of 20th-century British tableware design. All pieces carry the original Portmeirion backstamp on the underside.
