This was an order of a 6 plate set. One plate arrived broken. Amazon refused to either replace the plate or give me a refund for that one plate. They suggested instead that they would pay for the entire set to be returned, and give me a refund for the entire set. Since even with 1 plate broken, the set was still a very good price, I decided to keep the remaining 5 plates, although I would have preferred a refund for that one broken plate or a substitute.

Portmeirion Botanic Garden Dinner plates:
The newest made series of botanic garden plates (as well as other pieces) are heavier and have a more clear and pronounced graphics which I feel is an improvement over older series of this type. Collectors will find that the new floral graphics will clash with those of the older type only if you look very closely. However, the maker’s mark on the back of the pieces has changed dramatically, and does give the impression that the newer plates and pieces are being produced by another manufacturer.

When I first received my dinner plates 2 were broken but Amazon sent out a new order and I got it immediately. I found the return/replacement instructions very easy to follow. Love these beautiful plates and all my other Portmeirion Botanic Garden Ware that is made in Britain. I got rid of all my old plates so I could have nothing but beautiful perfection on my dining table.

Were these shipments all the same pattern or were they mixed patterns?
I’d like to order these, but prefer a mixed lot so I can mix and match with other pieces I have in the same style.

I had the same situation, where one plate was crushed. What a shame it is too, because I wonder what will happen to the rest of the plates when I return them. My replacements came packaged the same way, but this time all were in good condition. i ordered the Holly and the Ivey set too earlier, and they came fine — from Fed Ex, as did my replacement set of Botanicals, but the set of Bo’s that had a plate crushed was USPS! I am not even sure why my H&I set came Fed Ex, but I am glad because did not want to wait to use them!
At any rate, these plates feel good in the hand, have nice deep edges/rims to keep food from easily sliding out – a plus for living room eating. The illustrations are very well done too. I wish there were more!
I am into gardening, and it appears that the flowers on the plates are not typical here in the States, but for the peony. No matter, just a tid-bit. Who knows I may be wrong, and living in Maryland, I am only going with what grows in this growing zone.
Cheers and enjoy!
