Description
The Magic City pattern is one of Portmeirion's most graphically bold designs, its black ground, intricate geometric detailing, and warm orange, white, and olive accent tones drawing directly on the Aztec and Mesoamerican decorative vocabulary that was a significant influence on the Op Art and graphic design movements of the 1970s.
Made by Portmeirion of Wales in the 1970s, this plate features the Magic City pattern: a bold black ground with intricate geometric detailing and warm orange, white, and olive accent tones that give the piece a striking graphic presence. Portmeirion, founded by Susan Williams-Ellis in 1960, became one of the most design-forward British ceramics producers of the 20th century, and the Magic City pattern, with its Aztec-inspired geometric vocabulary, is one of the more unusual and collectible of the Portmeirion ranges. The pattern name and Portmeirion mark are present to the reverse. Magic City pieces are actively collected by enthusiasts of 1970s British ceramics and graphic design-influenced decorative objects.
