Nothing is completely symmetrical in this set
Yes, another member of the uber-talented Conran family pops up. This time it’s Sophie, daughter of Sir Tel, who has created this range of crockery for Portmeirion. It’s all white and none of the plates or bowls are completely perfectly round, which pleases me. In an age where everything is under pressure to be perfect and when supermarkets reject carrots and tomatoes for being irregularly-shaped, I like the fact that these have been deliberately designed to buck that trend.
Although the china is delicate they have been designed to go from oven to table and from dishwasher to cupboard.
