Lot 74: A Collection of Floral Patterned Ceramic Serving Pieces Attributed to Alfred Meakin
This collection of cream-coloured earthenware serving ware features a traditional transfer-printed floral pattern. The lot includes an oval lidded tureen resting on a matching underplate, alongside a set of graduated oval serving platters. The decorative border displays clusters of pink roses and small blue flowers linked by a blue trellis or lace-like design, set within a narrow gold-coloured geometric band. All pieces exhibit scalloped edges finished with gilded rims. The tureen lid is topped with a fluted finial, and the vessel body features integral scalloped handles. While no backstamps are visible in the images, the style, form, and decoration are highly consistent with the Sol range attributed to Alfred Meakin. The items currently bear temporary auction room labels.
Condition report:
The pieces appear to be in good overall condition. There is typical light wear and rubbing to the gilding on the scalloped rims consistent with age and use. No significant chips, cracks, or evidence of restoration are apparent from the primary visual inspection.
