Dinnerware: Portmeirion The Botanic Garden, Barbadoes Aloe, Bread & Butter Plate

Portmeirion Botanic Garden "Barbadoes Aloe" (Aloe Vera) Bread & Butter Plate — First-Decade Production.

Designed by the celebrated Susan Williams-Ellis and launched in 1972, the Barbadoes Aloe motif is considered an ultra-rare top-tier holy grail pattern among serious international and local Portmeirion collectors. The centre showcases a striking deep green succulent with characteristic fine white spots, delicate yellow floral stalks, and detailed native moths, all framed by the series' signature green laurel leaf border.

This specific plate bears the rare genuine first-generation Idyllic Wreath factory backstamp used strictly between 1972 and 1982, confirming it as an authentic first-decade British production piece crafted from heavy premium fine earthenware.

Original Intended Use: Premium breakfast bread plate, side salad dish, or afternoon tea dessert plate.

Did you Know?

The Barbadoes Aloe was retired very early in the Botanic Garden collection's history and replaced by the more common Barbadoes Cotton Flower pattern. Because this succulent design had a very limited production run, standalone vintage replacement pieces bearing the historic 1970s wreath backstamp are intensely sought after by collectors looking to complete original sets. It makes a phenomenal focal wall-hanging display piece or a standout addition to a high-end botanical gallery collection.
