Amazon.com Review: The colorful, detailed scenes on Portmeirion's A Christmas Story dinnerware illustrate the famous poem by Clement C. Moore that begins with the line, "Twas the night before Christmas..." Collectors familiar with the dinnerware know that the poem unwinds across several different series. The four teacups and matching saucers in this set were released in 2006. Each straight-sided cup shows a different scene while the saucer is inscribed with a verse from the poem. A green band of holly and a cranberry rim trims each piece.
Designed by American artist Susan Winget, A Christmas Story is one of Portmeirion's most endearing patterns, comprising an extensive array of dinnerware, bakeware, specialty serving pieces, and accessories. Made of fine white porcelain, the items in this set are safe for the microwave and dishwasher. --Ann Bieri

Beautifully decorated, heavy "every day" weight china. I would expect this to be durable and last a long time.

My husband is British and he had a few pieces of Portmeirion when we met. Over 10 years time, I have become increasingly impressed with the VERY HIGH QUALITY and EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE of these pieces. They stand up to daily dishwasher and microwave ... Read More
