    Description

    Description:
    English pottery maker Alfred Meakin manufactured this botanical collection of colorful bird plates from John James Audubon's Birds of America elephant folio. Made in Tunstall, England in the late1930's and early 40's
    and endorsed by the American Audubon Society in New York, Alfred Meakin was one of a just few pottery manufacturers who reproduced John James' images onto china for retail trade during the 20th century. The plates feature d
    ifferent bird images on Ivory/Cream porcelain, all set against a swirl of embossed leaves. These two luncheon plates portray a pair of Ceder Birds and a Bewick's Wren
    Set includes 2 Plates at 8.75" in diameter each.
    - Plate #18 'Bewick's Wren'
    - Plate # 43 'Cedar Bird'
    Condition:
    The plates have no noticeable chips or cracks. The rim of both plates are rougher in texture which seem to be from age but there are no sharp chips. There is crazing on both plates, top and bottom. The transferware patterns are in mint condition. These are older plates so please understand they will be in antique condition.
