Portmeirion Botanic Garden Lotus 9" Bowl

Classic

The Botanic Garden Lotus Blossom Bowl from Portmeirion is beautiful, functional, and very unique. I love the design with the Manchineel Tree and flying moths. I do feel like the colors of the moths could have been a bit richer and more saturated. I used this bowl for the first time for a small dinner party where I had made a homemade bean dip. It looked great as part of my display. Even though the design was covered at first, pattern around the edge of the bowl was still visible. It was the perfect size for my doubled dip recipe. I like that the bowl is made of durable stoneware and is oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe. It's an excellent value for a unique and special piece.

I absolutely love this bowl! The Manchineel Tree illustration is beautifully detailed and adds such a unique botanical charm to my table. It feels like a little piece of art that also happens to be wonderfully useful. At 9 inches, it’s the perfect size for salads, pasta dishes, fruit, or even as a decorative centerpiece. The porcelain quality is excellent; sturdy enough for everyday use but elegant enough for guests. It has that classic Portmeirion feel: refined, nature-inspired, and beautifully crafted. It’s also a great conversation starter; everyone comments on the design! I own a few pieces from the Botanic Garden collection, and this bowl mixes in perfectly. Whether you’re a collector or just someone who appreciates beautiful kitchenware, this piece is a standout. Highly recommend!

Portmeirion is a favorite of mine, and I've been to both Portmeirion Village, Wales, and the pottery in Stoke-on-Trent, England. This bowl has a classic Portmeirion design, it is crisp and clear, although the colors aren't as vivid as the description pictures. It is a good size and has a nice heft to it. But, sadly, it isn't genuine in the sense that it was made in England, as it was made in China instead. It would make a nice gift with a homemade soup or pasta packet or some candy.

Quality bowl that is nicely made and should hold up for many years of usage. The design is exceptional, and it looks just like the pictures. I was very pleased and the size, although not gigantic it has a multitude of uses. Quality and well done.

Beautiful small size porcelain serving bowl from English maker Portmeirion/Spode in the iconic Botanic Garden design that brightens and softens decor of every table it's used on. This bowl also makes a lovely decorative piece on shelves, walls, and small tables anywhere in your home. It blends very well with my Portmeirion Pomona earthenware service, which features the same style of art but with fruit trees. Mine is perfectly made with no bubbles or decal breaks. Recommended.

This Portmeirion Botanic Garden bowl is beautiful. It is made of durable porcelain. The bowl is nine inches in diameter. It is not a large serving bowl, but it will be useful for smaller quantities of food. The bowl coordinates perfectly with my other Botanic Garden pieces. The design is elegant and lovely. I especially like the scalloped edges of the bowl which add greatly to its charm. This bowl is a high-quality piece of tableware like all the Portmeirion products and is very reasonably priced. I am extremely pleased with it. I give it my highest recommendation!

Love this bowl! It's such a great addition to my eclectic bowl collection and arrived just in time to replace a similarly sized bowl that broke and is much missed. This one is perfect for serving corn or green beans or whatever veggie or side dish you like at the table, or holding bread wrapped in a towel, or what have you. I use it almost every day for one thing or another. It's just sturdy and should last ages. It's such a classic I'm so happy to have it in my kitchen.
