• Pattern Description
  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.

  Mr D StoneAug 17th 2023Great YarmouthThere is nothing more to add

  Apr 19th 2023Unfortunately, I ordered the larger bowls - not realizing that there are two sizes, so they don't match my existing china; but that's my fault. Other than that, they are perfect and give me another option when serving etc.

  Rosemary BuntingNov 26th 2022Not the same size as my other soup / cereal bowl. This is larger. I wished to use it with the saucer but it does not fit. Disappointng
