A Vintage Portmeirion Birds Of Britain Teacup, Redpoll and Linnet, Designed By Susan Williams-Ellis.

This lovely teacup from the long discontinued Birds of Britain range features the Redpoll and Linnet as the main design and a green-grey band border.

Susan Williams-Ellis originally conceived the idea for a Birds Of Britain range in 1974. The beautiful and highly decorative illustrations were taken from the book 'Natural History Of British Birds' by E. Donovan. The range launched in 1977, initially exclusively to John Lewis in the UK and Bitossi in Italy. 

No chips. The cup is 2.5" tall and 3.25" in diameter at the lip. Stamped 103 on the bottom.
