Welcome to Portmeirion Group’s official UK blog: the home of recipes, interior ideas, tips, exclusives and what inspires us at our head office in Stoke-on-Trent, affectionately known as the heart of The Potteries.
We look after the Great British brands Portmeirion, Spode, Royal Worcester, Pimpernel and Wax Lyrical. As such, the home is at the centre of everything we do.
Here is a little info about each of our brands to fill you in on what we have been up to over the past 250 years.
