📖 Mini Story / Vintage Hook

A charming matched pair of English tea cups and saucers in the Sunshine pattern by J. & G. Meakin, produced in England in the late 1930s. Registered just before WWII, this design reflects the elegant optimism of interwar British tableware, with its neoclassical green border panels and soft cream glaze. Pieces like these were once everyday items in English homes, yet today they make beautiful display or gentle-use tea ware. A lovely example of pre-war Staffordshire craftsmanship, preserved with honest signs of age.
