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/SANDWICH SERVING DISH (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
Oval shaped
7.5" wide x 10" long with a "single hand" handle
No cracks
No crazing
No fleabites
No discolouration
Signs of handling wear to the intricate rim gold gilding, in particular the 'single handed" handle and looking closely at the outer rim, it appears that most of the gold gilding in this area no longer is present. I am referring only to the very outer edge of the dish, the intricate gold gilding elsewhere is in very good condition.
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 serving dish, not a reproduction
