About:

This charming Alfred Meakin plate captures the romance of early-20th-century European travel; gondolas drifting past flowering terraces under soft pastel skies, with an overall sense of warmth, pastel colours and a strong sense of English heritage baked into the detailing. 

Alfred Meakin Ltd., was a prominent British pottery company founded in 1873 and was located in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, in England. They were known for producing adorable, high-quality earthenware, ironstone china, and porcelain, among other materials. This piece continues to carry their long legacy, and can fit alongside any collection, and hold a wide variety of uses.

The richly moulded floral rim adds depth and texture, framing the hand-coloured scenic transfer beautifully. Pieces like this were designed to bring a sense of elegance and escapism into everyday homes, something which reflected the natural world around them. This really is a must-have piece.
