Alfred Meakin ‘Bleu de Roi’ Meat Plate

This is a high quality piece of tableware, dating to the post Second World War period. The platter is oval in shape with a royal blue band at the edge of the rim. This is flanked by a thin gilt line on its inner and outer edge. In addition, it bears the remains of a gilt line at the inner margin of the rim. The base is marked within the foot rim with a gilt logo consisting of the words ‘BLEU DE ROI’ above a crown and the words ‘ALFRED MEAKIN ENGLAND’ below. It has a maximum length of approximately 35.5cm and a maximum width of about 28.4cm. It is in good condition, considering its age. There are no chips or cracks, but there are a few wear and tear scratches to the glaze in the centre. This is only visible on the closest of inspection but has been taken into considering in the price.
