The stylish, rounded "Style" shape of the cups and pots was designed by Robert Jefferson in the same year. This is durable, vitreous pottery described as oven-to-table, microwave, and dishwasher safe. The set has a lovely mid-century modern aesthetic, popular during the late 1970s and 1980s. "Summer Glory" is one of Poole Pottery's more popular patterns from recent times, highly sought after by collectors, similar to its blue counterpart, "Springtime". The pattern was discontinued many years ago, making individual items and complete sets increasingly difficult to find in good condition. This makes adding these pieces to a collection a great find. Overall, the set is in very good vintage condition. The items show minor signs of wear and use commensurate with their age. One of the teacups has a visible line internally, which appears to be a hairline crack, but it is not currently leaking. All other pieces are free from chips, cracks, or significant damage.
