		There, I've admitted it - for a while it seemed that Portmeirion was a byword for kitch and usually bad taste amongst the Denby and Wedgewood designs available over the years.
		Portmeirion can be bad taste, as demonstrated by some of the designs illustrated here, but it can also be innovative, imaginative and trend setting.
		A case in point would be that some Portmeirion designs could be confused by the unsuspecting Hornsea Pottery of the 70's, except that Portmeirion is of a superior quality than Hornsea could ever hope to attain!
