Rose & Passion Flower

The Rose and Passion Flower motif was taken by Susan from a late eighteenth century watercolour and rendered in a more relaxed and softer look than her Botanic Garden designs. Produced from late 1977, early 1978, the design uses a pallette of blue, green and pink and the motif remains the same on all pieces. Susan combined the motif with a pretty, petal shaped design that looked like hand painted brushstrokes, similar to a bargeware design her daughter went on to use on the Welsh Dresser design. This border, used on flatware pieces was created in a pale blue colour to compliment the motif. Although this design was conceived as a giftware range, a month after going on sale it was decided that it should be produced on all the same items as Botanic Garden. It was, sadly, discontinued in 1983.
