Featuring six different luscious, hand-decorated fruit motifs, this 6-piece romantic teacup and saucer set in Portmeirion's Pomona pattern brings outstanding decoration and alluring contour to the table. A comfortably curved handle is elegant enough for any table setting. The white saucer features a grooved border and slightly lipped rim.

Different fruits include: Late Duke Cherry, Hoary Morning Apple, Roman Apricot, Reine Claude Plum, Teinton Squashed Pear, and Grimwoods Royal George. All have convincing depth, life-like hues, and detailed dimension. The Pomona pattern includes a full range of tableware, serveware, cookware and home-decor items. Crafted of the highest quality earthenware, the set is safe in the dishwasher, freezer and microwave, and is safe in the oven to 340 degrees. --Brian Olson
