Pomona has been one of Portmeirion's most popular dinnerware patterns since its introduction in 1982. Aptly named after the Roman goddess of fruit, the design by Portmeirion founder Susan Williams-Ellis draws upon historic illustrations of fruit, many of which are heirloom varieties rarely seen today. Each piece of brilliant white ceramicware is rimmed with a garland of tiny green leaves and showcases a different ripe fruit specimen on a leafy sprig. Look for these in this 12-piece set: Teinton Squash Pear, Roman Apricot, Hoary Morning Apple, Grimwoods Royal George Peach, Reine Claude Plum, and Late Duke Cherry.

Included in this Pomona starter set for your buffet are four 10-inch dinner plates; four 8-inch salad, sandwich, or dessert plates; and four 6-inch oatmeal bowls, which are also ideal for ice cream and fruit with yogurt. Any piece can be used to store leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer, may go into a cool oven and be slowly warmed, and can safely heat food in the microwave. The cheerful, timeless pattern durably suits everyday use as well as special occasion parties, and slips right into the dishwasher for clean-up. Add other pieces with different fruits as you go, creating your own distinct table. Pomona is a quite extensive Portmeirion collection, comprising tableware, serveware, cookware, giftware, textiles, and more, all of which make excellent gifts. --Ann Bieri
