The Very Hungry Caterpillar

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Based on the legendary children's story book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar range for Portmeirion features Eric Carle's signature artwork on tableware, baking sets and accessories. This collection also features vibrant, quality packaging that can become treasure boxes to decorate the bedroom of any boy or girl!

Portmeirion was founded in 1960 by the legendary ceramic designer Susan Williams-Ellis and her husband Euan Cooper-Willis. Susan sadly passed away in November 2007, but her philosophy of creating collections that are not only beautiful but also functional and affordable lives on in Portmeirion tableware. Always at the forefront of contemporary design, Susan Williams-Ellis’s Portmeirion tableware was renowned for her originality in both design and manufacturing techniques.

Susan was born on the 6th June 1918 to Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, the architect and creator of Portmeirion Village in North Wales, and his wife Amabel. Susan’s life was spent socialising with and being taught by creative talents such as Bernard and David Leach, Henry Moore and Graham Sutherland and, keeping such high company, her innate feeling for shape, form and pattern flourished. The opportunity to use those skills came along when her father asked her to create some ceramic gifts for the shop at Portmeirion Village, and, shortly afterwards, the Portmeirion Pottery was born. In fact, Portmeirion tableware still includes Susan's designs and is still manufactured in the same factory in Stoke-on-Trent.

The 1970s saw the birth of what is considered by many to be the most recognised Portmeirion tableware design, Botanic Garden. Launched in 1972, Portmeirion Botanic Garden was uniquely different - inspired by a serendipitous find of antique botanical books, and with a variety of individual floral decorations, it encapsulated the new mood for casual dining, dispensing with the old formalities and bringing a new design philosophy to the market place.  This new Portmeirion tableware became an instant success, becoming a classic of British design and hailed as the world's most popular casual tableware design.

More recently, Portmeirion has manufactured the beautiful range of Sophie Conran for Portmeirion tableware and cookware, along with its own retro-chic range of Crazy Daisy by Portmeirion tableware and cookware. For children of all ages, the Portmeirion Very Hungry Caterpillar range is sure to delight.

In 2010, Portmeirion celebrates its 50th birthday - for half a century, Portmeirion tableware has been delighting the world with designs that are as innovative and as imaginative as they are beautiful.
