September thrifting finds: Part I: Portmeirion

This September's thrifting trips have uncovered a few Portmeirion pieces: 


This is a blue version of the Totem pattern first introduced in 1963 - unfortunately one or two of the items have small chips so only three of the mugs will be listed on Etsy together with the covered jug which, also unfortunately, had some restoration to the knop which will be reflected in the price. These pieces were found at a flea market.


This is a Greek Key design coffee pot with sugar bowl and milk jug in the gold on matt brown variation. This colour was introduced in 1972 but was not so popular so is more difficult to find today. These pieces were found at a local car boot sale.


This is a set of the Black Key pattern on an orange background but, though there are five cups in the photo, one cup was found to have a chip and so only four will be on offer on Etsy. They were found at a flea market.



Another tankard in the popular 1960s Zodiac series, in this case depicting Aquarius, the water carrier. This was purchased online.
