Alfred Meakin ‘Samoa’ Design Black and White Floral Salad Plate (9″)

This is an attractive example of a retro ceramic salad plate from the ‘Samoa’ range produced by Alfred Meakin of Staffordshire.

The design consists of a bold floral motif in monochromatic linear form. The rim is encircled with a wide black band.

The underside of the plate has a transfer printed maker’s mark, which reads ‘SAMOA IRONSTONE BY ALFRED MEAKIN STAFFORDSHIRE ENGLAND A HAND ENGRAVED PATTERN APPLIED UNDER THE GLAZE DETERGENT AND ACID RESISTING COLOUR’.

It has a diameter across the rim of approximately 23.0cm.

It has an unwrapped weight of 390g.

It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks, although there are a few very minor glaze scratches on the upper surface that are commensurate with use.
