Advert Description
Pair of Large Circular Victorian Alfred Meakin Pottery Bleu de Roi Serving Dishes. White With Blue Line And Gilded Decoration.
These pretty Victorian pottery pieces would look lovely in either a traditional or modern environment given their clean classic lines and timeless white glaze with a gilded deep blue band and minimalist gilding on their handles.
Although these pieces are useable for their original purpose, they could be used purely as decorative items – or even be planted up with bulbs and displayed anywhere around the home.
The maker’s mark on the underside of both of these dishes states Alfred Meakin England. The marks also include the pattern name Bleu de Roi.
As is common with pottery from this era, the surfaces of the dishes have a few small imperfections on them.
The dishes are in very good used condition for their age, with no chips or cracks or repairs. The gilding is rubbed in places – commensurate with its age and use.
Please refer to the photographs provided to make your own assessment regarding condition.
The size of these dishes is approximately 6.5 cm high. The diameter of each dish is approximately 19.5 cm. The two side handles protrude by approximately 2.5 cm each.
This private sale is from a pet, smoke and Covid free home. The sale price is for the pair of dishes.
