Bright and Cheery Alfred Meakin Royal Marigold Trio | buying Late 1930s Made in England | Cup, Saucer, and Side Plate | Excellent Vintage Condition

**FOUR TRIOS AVAILABLE - SELECT NUMBER DURING CHECKOUT**

This charming trio (cup, saucer, and side plate), is from the Alfred Meakin 'Royal Marigold' collection.

Made in Staffordshire England, the combination of the back stamp and the style of patterning indicates they were made between 1937 and 1940. The cheerful and serene design features a riverside village (possibly Consall Hall Estate and Gardens) together with sprays of yellow, orange, and blue flowers with their leaves, as well as a stand of flowering reeds.

The edges of all pieces are slightly scalloped and heavily gilded, which probably accounts for it still being in such great condition. The teacup is decorated on the front and back and includes a spray of flowers on the inside. The saucer is round while the side plate is square with rounded edges. Four trios are available, and each is in excellent vintage condition, with clean interiors, no chips, cracks, or stains.

There is some light crazing commensurate with age.

THE BUSY BOWERBIRD STORY
Busy Bowerbird collects and resells beautiful vintage and estate fashion jewelry and 20th-century home décor collectibles, which we ship from either San Francisco, USA, or Sydney, Australia. (Please see details in the Shipping section.)

We present items as they are and clearly indicate their condition. Many collectors prefer their jewelry to look genuine and authentic, which means showing a bit of the wear that naturally occurs with age. Likewise, vintage and antique porcelain may show signs of crazing. Only time can achieve these effects, however, you can polish your Busy Bowerbird treasure just the way you like.

Every item of jewelry we sell is in wearable condition. If there are any stones missing, we will identify them in photos and our descriptions. The same applies if there is a minor issue with an item, e.g., it requires a minor repair. Likewise, we will point out any tarnish, scratches, loss of plating, etc.

We sell all items “As Is” and ship them in an appropriate-sized gift box, packed in bubble wrap. Every piece in our collection has been pre-loved and brings its own (possibly secret) story. Thanks for stopping by!
