What we have here is in my opinion a stunning J&G Meakin set in their simplistic yet beautiful Sunflower Sol design. It is a pattern that was produced with no embellishments due to war time restrictions in Britain at the time. It really is a very dainty set.
I think the set shall look pretty on the painted dresser....
Who says now the nights are drawing in, the days are colder, we have to dig out our autumn colours, I like spring colours all year round and it certainly cheers me up to see pretty colours around my home.
It is in excellent condition, and how can one not smile when ones eyes are drawn to the cheery sun, peering up at them on the derriere of each saucer :0)
Have you found any vintage loveliness on your travels....

ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you would do me a huge favour and help me advertise my charity raffle on your blog? If so, I will match how ever many tickets you buy and give you one extra free. :-)

Oh pretty cups and saucers! Love the creamy yellow. I found a few saucers and a few cups not a set sadly. But very pretty. Actually Mary right up your street as they were pretty and delicately pink with a gold trim. But oh dear I did not buy them. For one I just at the moment at least have nowhere to store such pretties and two I was in a bit of a rush and was catching a bus. I was worried I might break them in my hurry. I do regret it now and still think of the pretties! Maybe next time.

ReplyDeleteThey are really lovely and cheerful. I managed to bag the rose coloured set from my CS a few weeks ago.

What a treasure you have found! I cannot imagine finding those Meakin cups and saucers at any charity shop in New York. I still have a few pieces (including my favorite cereal bowl) left over from a set of Meaking ironstone I bought "way back" in 1969...guess they will be antiques soon enough.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Fantastic finds and what a great price! Hope you find a quiet moment to enjoy a lovely cuppa, Tamara x
ReplyDeleteOh I am so jealous! It really is the most gorgeous set ever!
ReplyDeleteI have sound some treasure lately Mary and really must blog about them - funnily enough I got a coffee cup set too :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful find and such a bargainous price. Double whammy!
ReplyDeleteThey look oh-so-pretty sitting on the shelf. And the backstamp is kinda cute too!
