1963 Portmeirion Pottery Blue 'Totem' Cheese Dome and Base by Susan Williams-Ellis

In the scarce and highly collectable blue high gloss glaze and in the famous 'Totem' range designed in 1963 by Susan Williams-Ellis here is a gorgeous cheese dome and base - although these sometimes came with a wooden base this particular cheese dome has a glazed china base which is fully stamped with a circular backstamp to the underside and also to the inside of the dome with 'PORTMEIRION, TOTEM, SUSAN WILLIAMS-ELLIS, STOKE, MADE IN ENGLAND'.  A must-have for any Portmeirion or retro ceramics collection.  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.

SIZE:  Height  4.25in/10.5cm    Diameter  7.5in/19cm    Weight  1170g

CONDITION: In lovely original condition other than a very small oyster chip to the bottom rim of the lid which does not show when it is sitting on the base (shown in photograph number 4).  We believe it to be fairly insignificant but nevertheless has been reflected in the price.  Other than this there are no other chips, cracks or hairlines.
