Meridian by Portmeirion
Susan Williams-Ellis was looking around for new themes. Asked by the sales force for a new coffee mug shape, she found an early Nineteenth Century sprigged blue and white mug. This was much admired and from it quickly sprang an entirely new shape, basically cylindrical, but this time with embossed bands running round the pieces. Susan named the new shape Meridian and selected four satin finish colored glazes with a certain random speck in them. The colors were Chocolate Brown, Terracotta, Saffron and Plover Grey. Portmeirion launched the new range in 1971. Meridian, with its simple modern look, was popular but there was, however, a problem with the application of some of the glazes which was never satisfactorily resolved.
