Oh Dear! This item has been sold but take a look around for other similar items

This advertisement is for ONLY the described piece of the single Bleu De Roi teaset from Alred Meakin Pottery UK

 

If the complete one person tea set is sold in the meantime, this item will no longer be available for purchase (being part of the whole tea set)

HINT: It is a better deal to purchase the whole tea set instead of just one piece.

 

English chinaware - Alfred Meakin

CAKE PLATE (ONLY)

Design: Bleu De Roi

This is a French term, which in English means "Kings Blue"

Based on the makers mark underneath every item except the teacup, these items were produced post 1945, the exact year cannot be determined but certainly not earlier than 1945

 

Bleu De Roi design description: Cream background, extensive use of gold gilding/artwork and a Colbalt-Royal Blue banding

Visually stunning, very regal/classy looking - especially on a table dressed with a lovely white lace or linen

Octagonal shaped cake plate

6.5" wide

No cracks

No crazing

No discolouration

4 small blemishes on the underside to the glaze, not sure if these are fleabites or manufacturing faults

Light signs of handling wear to the intricate rim gold gilding, in particular just one small area which seems to coincide with where the holder of the plate may have placed their thumb when holding the plate in one hand.

Makers mark, design name in gold leaf clearly readable underneath, factory artists mark in coloured ink offset from the makers mark. 

This factory makers mark was extremely important as they were attributed to each pottery worker then they were paid by the number of items with their mark on them

This is an ORIGINAL creamer jug, not a reproduction
