• About Arabesque
  Gill Pemberton designed Arabesque tableware and most of the publicity material associated with the range in 1963. The intention had been to call the range Samarkland but when the Portmeirion Pottery exhibited a range under that name, an alternative had to be found.
  
  Originally a small range of giftware, the range extended and the stylish jugs and cups of Arabesque featured the same ergonomically correct handles as those of the ‘Chevron’ pattern. A visit to Russia had inspired the exotic red and gold hand-painted decoration which she evolved and was later executed by her decorator. ‘Trish’ Seal.
  
  Initially the pattern was hand-painted directly onto the raw, unfired brown glaze but this was a difficult technique to perfect and for a short time Arabesque was produced using a decal or transfer print.
  
  Dark, bold and majestic, yet warm with welcoming browns, the red centre of each flower ‘lifted’ and highlighted the pattern adding a richness of quality and interest to the table. View entire Arabesque range

  Mrs. Pauline HunterDec 23rd 20163 perfect teacups, one slightly fainter pattern, no complaints.

  May 27th 2016Exactly as described

  Dec 22nd 2015I chose 'Very Good' for quality required, these are to be a Xmas Gift, but one of the cups had a noticeable blue spot on the inside of the cup under the glaze and some other tiny blue spots also. As there were plenty of 'Very Good' grade of cups in stockat the time I was very disappointed with this one being selected to send to me. As it is a Xmas gift it isn't feasible to pack up, return and reorder in time. First time I have been so disappointed with Chinasearch.

  Dec 1st 2015The tea cup perfectly matches the set
