This is a very rare and collectable vintage Portmeirion jumbo sized cup. It is great for large bowls of hot chocolate in the winter.
It is from the Portmeirion series called Velocipedes which features quirky early designs for bicycles.
This one shows a Water Tricycle. An Edwardian gentleman is at the seaside and is astride a three wheeled bike and is cycling on the waves. A wee sailing boat can be seen in the distance to the right.
It is a harder to lime green colour. It is 4 3/4 inches in diamater and has a height of 3 1/2 inches. It is in good condition with no damages. There is the black oval Portmeirion mark on the base, as photographed.
The old designs were often printed in black on plain white ceramics etc. This one is a little rarer in that it is printed onto a bright acid green coloured background colours. This fascination with the "olden days" and the Edwardian era - was very popular with Carnaby Street style and were used very much at this time of Portmeirion products.
It is in pretty good vintage condition with no chips or cracks.
