Vintage Portmeirion Pomona Footed Planter – Squash Pear – Susan Williams-Ellis – Made in England

Bring classic English botanical style to your home with this rare vintage Portmeirion Pomona footed planter, designed by the renowned Susan Williams-Ellis. Made in England, this beautiful porcelain planter features the beloved Squash Pear motif, with richly colored fruit and lush green foliage inspired by historic orchard illustrations.

Adding to its charm is the elegant laurel trim that encircles the base, creating a refined finishing touch. The classic footed design elevates the planter, making it equally stunning as a cachepot, decorative centerpiece, or display piece.

The orange Portmeirion backstamp dates this piece to the 1980s–1990s. As part of the now discontinued Pomona Collection, this planter is becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially in this uncommon footed form.

Whether used to display a favorite houseplant, hold herbs in the kitchen, or simply showcased in a china cabinet, this planter is a wonderful addition to any Portmeirion or English pottery collection.
