Poole Pottery "Miranda"

Poole Pottery Miranda was introduced in 2000 and was designed by Anita Harris. It belongs to Poole’s later tableware period, when the factory continued to produce softer, hand-decorated designs alongside more contemporary shapes and finishes.

The pattern features a broad pale green border, decorated with simple red petal shapes and green leaves. The decoration has an informal, hand-painted character, with a gentle rhythm around the rim of plates and serving pieces.

Miranda has a calmer feel than some of Anita Harris’s bolder Poole designs, using a muted green ground and small repeated motifs rather than large floral or fruit decoration. This makes it easy to live with, while still giving the range a distinctive Poole character.

For many customers, Miranda is a pattern they are trying to keep in regular use. As a discontinued Poole range, it is often sought out by those looking to replace a broken plate, find a missing bowl, or add useful serving pieces to an existing set.

Availability depends entirely on what becomes available through the pre-loved market. As with many hand-decorated Poole designs, small differences in colour strength, brushwork and decoration placement are part of the pattern’s character.
