Antique Alfred Meakin “Westport” Oval Plate – Game Birds – 1950s, England
Alfred Meakin, Westport pattern
12" (30cm) 10" (25cm) Oval serving plate
Staffordshire, England
1950s
An elegant antique Alfred Meakin Westport oval plate, beautifully decorated with a finely engraved-style scene of flying game birds above wetland reeds. The restrained palette and detailed line work give this piece a timeless country-house aesthetic, equally suited to traditional interiors or refined farmhouse settings.
Produced in Staffordshire by Alfred Meakin, one of England’s most respected pottery manufacturers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this plate exemplifies the firm’s reputation for quality craftsmanship. Meakin wares are particularly admired for their crisp underglaze decoration and enduring designs, many of which were inspired by the British countryside.
The Westport pattern is prized for its subtle engraving effect applied beneath the glaze, resulting in a decorative yet durable finish intended for everyday use but now highly sought after by collectors, due to it's rarity.
A versatile and decorative piece, ideal for, use as a serving or display platter. Styling in a dresser, cabinet, or wall display. Complementing a country house, hunting lodge, or classic British interior. Collectors of Alfred Meakin and English ceramics
Very good antique condition, with gentle surface wear consistent with age and light use. Minor age-related discolouration visible in places. Minor chip to the edge, but no cracks or repairs observed.
Please refer closely to the photographs, which form an integral part of the description.
A lovely piece of British pottery history and a charming addition to any vintage collection!
