Victoria Bone Porcelain Part Teaset with Alfred Meakin Tureens
This lot comprises a part teaset in Victoria bone porcelain, presented together with two Alfred Meakin tureens. The assembled pieces include a quantity of cups and saucers, side plates, a milk jug, a sugar bowl, and two cake or serving plates. The lot is offered in its original Angelos fruit box, which provides a useful reference for the grouping as it was stored. The tureens are of square form with domed covers and handles, and sit alongside further dishes in the group.
The service is decorated with an orange and rust floral pattern bordered with gilt detailing and a lattice or scale motif, applied to a white ground. Several cups and saucers display the same decoration, giving the set a cohesive appearance. Pieces of this type were commonly made for everyday and afternoon tea use in the early to mid twentieth century, and the combination of a bone porcelain service with a substantial Alfred Meakin tureen makes this a varied group for the table.
Condition and Collectability
The pieces are offered as seen, and condition has not been fully assessed for every item in the group. Some wear is consistent with age and use, and prospective buyers are encouraged to inspect the lot carefully or contact the saleroom for further details before bidding. The lot is not offered as a complete service, so buyers should not assume every piece of a matching set is present.
Its interest lies in the mixed group of matching floral decoration and the presence of two Alfred Meakin tureens, which may appeal to collectors of English tableware or those looking to build or complete a vintage dining or tea service.
