Title: Just curious on the rough value of this? And any info about it :)
Post by: dawngalloper on February 26, 2012, 03:51:18 AM

It's my grandmas, she is 87 and she said it was a wedding present for her parents.  I might not use the proper words to describe the dishes and such lol .. There's 4 teacups, but 6 saucers, so I assume 2 teacups have been broken.  There is 6 small dinner plates, 6 larger dinner plates, 1 large serving plate, 1 casserole dish (the lid has small cracks in it, I have uploaded photos, the actual dish doesn't though) 6 bowls and a gravy jug thing. One teacup has a small chip in it.  I'll add photos of everything below.  I would love any info on this :)

Your set was made by J & G Meakin   Hanley, Staffordshire England  this mark was used from 1912 on   They were known for earthenware, ironstone.  Factory began producing wares in 1851. Successors  - member of the Wedgwood group. I did not find your pattern but  value would depend on people wanting your pattern. Unfortunately Meakin does not bring huge money like say Spode , Shelley or  Clarice Cliff bizzare . Check ebay but look at completed listings for final selling prices  as anyone can put any price on a piece but it does not mean it will sell.

Nice set.  The sentimental value is generally much more than realized monetary value.

Love how Wendy worded that in her last sentence...
