Vintage 1960s Portmeirion Samarkand Jars Grey It has a loose weaveThis is an unusual pattern from Portmeirion, called Samarkand by Susan William Ellis and is so stylish Sold together, sadly they both have some damage, but were just too unusual to leave The slightly larger brown and yellow one has a fine crack at the lip, but it doesn't go through to the outside? maybe just in the glaze? and a small chip at the back, bottom edge. This measures 11cm high The smaller is blue and green, with a badly damaged lid and
