Portmeirion Pottery is renowned for its beauty, originality and practicality.
All pottery pieces are of oven to table quality and are dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe. Most of the range is made from a high fired, dense, very white earthenware that is particularly resistant to chipping and breaking.
The bakeware / ovenware is made from a strong, white stoneware which is resistant to temperature changes and is able to withstand oven temperatures up to 200C/390F.
The ovenware is distinguished by a ribbed, slightly rough finish on the base, which makes it less liable to slip.
