Vintage Portmeirion Botanic Garden Storage Canister with Wooden Lid

This vintage Portmeirion Botanic Garden storage canister brings a gentle sense of British charm to the kitchen. Decorated with a detailed botanical illustration of Hydrangea macrophylla, it shows the craft and artistry that have made Portmeirion a much loved name for generations.

The canister has a crisp white ceramic body adorned with soft cream flowers and green foliage, complemented by a natural wooden lid that adds warmth and texture. The mix of glossy glaze and tactile wood creates a lovely balance between refined and rustic, making the piece feel both decorative and inviting.

Measuring 20.5 centimetres tall and 13 centimetres across, it is a practical size for storing dry goods such as tea, coffee, sugar or pasta. It can also be used for utensils, craft materials or styled as a vase with dried flowers or eucalyptus stems. Its versatility makes it suitable for both everyday use and display, offering a touch of colour and nature inspired detail to the room.

Part of the well known Botanic Garden collection designed by Susan Williams Ellis, this piece reflects the enduring appeal of the range. Introduced in the early 1970s, the collection celebrates the beauty of English garden plants with botanical illustrations framed by a signature leaf border. Today, it remains popular among collectors and those who love classic design that still feels fresh.

In lovely vintage condition, the ceramic surface is bright and the floral illustration remains clear and vibrant. The wooden lid has a soft patina and fits securely. The original Portmeirion backstamp is present on the base.

A beautiful and useful addition to the home, this canister brings heritage, colour and a sense of English garden charm to everyday living.
