Cypher Portmeirion Cup and Saucer Set of 6 in Mustard
Impress your guests with these Cypher Portmeirion coffee/tea cup and saucer set. In great condition.
The design features a raised relief pattern inspired by ancient Minoan art, giving it a distinctive, textured appearance. The "Cypher" pattern was available in several colours, including green (referred to as mustard in brochures), brown, pewter blue, and white, with the green version being the most common.
Price is for a set of 6 cups and saucers.
The cups and saucers are crafted from earthenware, with the cups measuring approximately 65mm in diameter and 83mm in height, and the saucers about 137mm in diameter.
The Cypher Collection
Produced from 1964 Cypher was designed for the new serif shape of pottery.
The design was named Cypher as the pattern resembled undeciphered inscriptions. Production of this range continued until 1973.
The Portmeirion Story
Susan Williams-Ellis (1918-2007) loved pottery. So when her father, architect and creator of Portmeirion Village in North Wales, invited her to create some ceramic gifts for his architectural shop at Portmeirion Village, the story began. This ignited Susan and her husband Euan’s flair for business, which would see them later launch Portmeirion pottery.
According to the Portmeirion website, “In 1960 Susan and Euan purchased A. E. Gray Ltd., a small pottery decorating company based in Stoke-on-Trent. This was followed by the purchase of a second pottery company, Kirkhams Ltd., which had the capacity to not only decorate the pottery but also make it. These two businesses were combined and Portmeirion potteries was born. In fact, Portmeirion potteries continues to manufacture Susan's designs as well as others in the same factory in Stoke-on-Trent to this very day.”
