One canister showcases Colchicum (Meadow Saffron) with butterflies and insects, while the smaller features Veronica chamaedrys (Speedwell) accented by delicate blue butterflies.

Introduced in the early 1970s, the Botanic Garden collection became one of Portmeirion’s most recognizable designs by combining botanical illustrations with practical, everyday stoneware. These canisters are from that era and retain their original wooden lids with tight-fitting seals.

The ceramic bodies remain in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. The original wooden lids show significant finish wear from years of use, adding honest character and offering an easy refinishing project for those who prefer a refreshed appearance.
