Description: Here is a lovely plate or shallow bowl in the Montesol / Monte Sol pattern by Portmeirion Pottery, Stoke on Trent. White porcelain decorated with transfer prints of alternating vertical teardrop shapes in turquoise and dark blue. Introduced in 1966, Monte Sol was designed by Portmeirion' s founder Susan Williams Ellis. She is said to have come up with the design whilst on holiday in Ibiza, using marking pens and a paper restaurant napkin. The original design was sketched while at the 'Monte Sol' hotel in Ibiza. It is one of the vibrant transfer designs produced by Susan Williams-Ellis soon after the Portmeirion pottery factory in Stoke on Trent opened in 1960. The piece is 9 inches across by 7/8 inches high. Marked on the bottom: Monte Sol, designed by Susan Williams-Ellis, Portmeirion Pottery, Stoke-on-Trent, Made in England. Also marked in gold: 3639. Marked on the other plate: 4056. Two pieces available. Excellent condition with no chips, cracks, repairs, or stains, appears unused. Will quickly ship USPS. Love to combine shipping. Payment due on ALL items within 7 days of ending. Thanks. History: Hotel Montesol is a hotel in Ibiza Town, Ibiza. It is situated in a historic building which is officially listed as a Bien de Interés Cultural by the Spanish Ministry of Culture. It is characterized by its white and yellow color. The hotel, established in 1933, is the first ever hotel established on Ibiza. During the Spanish Civil War in 1936 and until the end of World War II in 1945, it was used by the army. My shipping price includes my actual postage cost as well as packing/handling cost (bubble wrap, boxes, tape, envelopes, etc.) with transportation to post office and my time. It entails more than the postage stamp amount when it arrives to you. Also note that I recycle materials as much as possible - saving the environment. All that being said I do try hard to be reasonable. Please leave feedback when the item is received, and I will do the same for you.
