Portmeirion Pomona Fruit Harvest

One of my favorite series of all time was "The Prisoner." The real Portmeirion is a miniature Italianate fantasy village on the coast of Wales and was the set of the BBC classic series in the 1960s. Portmeirion Pottery is a British pottery company based in Stoke-on-Trent, which has historical ties to East Liverpool, Ohio.

The Portmeirion shape/pattern is "Pomona" and honors the Goddess of Fruit and the harvest season.  The borderless plates are an older style, as opposed to the bowl in the center with decorated border and cherries.  Cinnabar Fiesta compliments the colors of the fruit on the china and the Hunter Green chargers. Sterling silver is American Directoire.  The little vase is china clad in sterling made by Deusch and Co., c. 1940.  The tablecloth and napkins are from Williams Sonoma, glassware from Pier 1.
