I am continuing my effort to downsize as unfortunately we will have to move all our belongings into temporary storage due to builders carrying out major remediation works to our brand new home.
I’m trying to minimize the pain by reducing the amount of packing required to be done!

For Sale here is a Fabulous Rare and Highly Prized Portmeirion Greek Key Tall Cylinder Coffee Pot in the Very Rare Turquoise and Black Colourway from 1967 – A Mid-Century Modern Design Classic in Mint Condition

The History bit!: The Greek Key range (1963) is the ultimate expression of Mid-Century Modern minimalism. Born from a chance discovery of a 19th-century copper plate in the Kirkham’s Pottery archives, Susan Williams-Ellis of Portmeirion, adapted the ancient geometric motif for the silkscreen process. The result was a design so timeless it remained in production for two decades (in certain colourways), becoming an undisputed classic of British industrial design. While the motif remained constant, the colourways shifted to match the evolving tastes of the 60's and 70's:
Gold on Matt Black: Launched in 1963, this became the signature look of the range. The contrast of the gleaming gold against the flat, velvet-like black finish was the height of 1960's "Boutique" style.
Gold on White: A cleaner, more architectural version of the design.
The "Pop Art" Era (1967): To keep pace with the psychedelic 60's, Portmeirion introduced vibrant new glazes in Turquoise and Orange. These brightly coloured versions are significantly rarer than the monochrome pieces and are highly prized by collectors.
From Coffee Pots to Kitchenalia, Greek Key was applied to an incredibly broad range of items, making it one of the most versatile sets to collect. Beyond the iconic Cylinder coffee sets, the design can be found on Storage Jars, Rolling Pins & Kitchen Accessories and Dinnerware: In fact, Greek Key was successfully expanded into full table service.
The early 1960's turquoise/Black and Orange/Black variants remain the "prized" finds.
Its geometric simplicity ensures it remains just as relevant in a 2026 interior as it was in a 1960's Mid-Century apartment.

This very rare coffee pot is in Mint condition, with no chips, cracks, or pattern loss.

It’s very tall and slim in the classic cylinder shape, standing just under 13 inches/ 32cm tall! Amazing that it never got knocked over and broken!!

This has been a prized possession of mine for many years, and I will not be letting it go for any lowball offers, especially given it’s rarity. I can only find one other for sale online and that is £85 stg plus shipping/customs etc. (see the last photo)
