Included is a Portmeirion Botanic Garden ceramic rolling pin of cylindrical form with integrated handles and a removable plastic cap at one end. The body is decorated with a blue passion flower and bears the printed inscription PASSIFLORA CAERULEA and Blue Passion Flower, while the handles feature the characteristic green laurel leaf border. Also present is a Portmeirion Botanic Garden rectangular butter dish and lid, decorated with yellow floral motifs, butterflies, and moths, finished with matching laurel leaf borders. Completing the lot is a wedge-shaped ceramic butter dish and underplate featuring monochrome black Victorian advertising style transfer-prints of pastoral farm scenes. The lid is printed with ribbons reading FROM THE FARM and BEST BUTTER, while the underplate rim lists cattle breeds including DAIRY SHORTHORN, AYRSHIRE, GUERNSEY GLOUCESTER, and JERSEY FRIESIAN. The wedge cover is surmounted by a rustic branch-style handle.
