Alfred Meakin Cups & Saucers

The maker’s mark on these Alfred Meakin coffee cups dates the set to sometime after 1945, although I think it’s most likely that they were manufactured around the 1960s. I love the pattern that’s repeated on the cups and the saucers, both of which are in very good condition. I’m always amazed at how well retro design translates today, and I think that this set is the perfect example of how good design stands the test of time.

Dimensions: Cups – 7cm in diameter x5.5cm tall; Saucers – 12cm in diameter

Price: R160

Alfred Meakin Casserole Dish

This casserole dish from Alfred Meakin has the prettiest shape to it! The flowers that make up the pattern look to me to be nasturtiums – my very favourite thing about this dish is the placement of the nasturtiums on the lower half of the dish – it reminds me of some detail on an old building (almost like pretty cornicing). With the exception of a bit of the silver edging having worn away, this casserole dish is in perfect nick.

Dimensions: 12cm high with lid on x 23cm in diameter

Pair of Alfred Meakin Casserole Dishes

There are certain names in tableware that I will nearly always buy, and Alfred Meakin is near the top of that list. This pair of casserole dishes decorated with bulrushes are in near-perfect nick with no chips or marks to speak of. The makers mark dates to 1945, but I’m not sure how long they continued using this particular stamp for. I love the simplicity of the shape and the muted tones used in the decoration. An excellent example from this iconic house of ceramics.

Dimensions: 13cm high (with lid on) x 20cm in diameter at its widest

Price: R120 each (ONE SOLD)
