Hi can anyone tell me about this beautifull tea, set i inheritead 7 yrs ago from my gran, she sadly past away 7 yrs ago at 95 yrs young, I know she had it at least 50 yrs, and all I know is she inheritead it from her aunt . Before then i dont know . I have been searching this
for the past 5 yrs . . It has "Alfred meakin" fine bone china , Staffordshire . "Empress" on it . no ltd no numbers so i think and been told it was before LTD began .i know all about the meakins. This is in emaculate condition still. I don't think it has ever been used . when my granmare had it , it was always kept in a lockt cabinet. I don't think she would have got it out if the Queen turned up for tea, it is a 21 piece set . hope someone can tell me something about this I would be very grateful if anyone can..
This is a early piece with Alfred meakin when he past away not quite sure but I think it was in the 40s .his son took over after that it will say meaken and son
Sorry can you dealt the first post I got it wrong.Alfred meakin past away in 1904 his son took over and he past away 4years later .Alfred's uncle Robert bought it for his son Stuart Johnson and he owned it until 1976 when it be came part of the Churchill group I do apologise vfor my mistake hope this helps
Thank you for takeing timeto look at my objects. But i know all about the meakins .it.s the tea set i want to know about.
Thankyou again
