Alfred Meakin, Marigold, Astoria shape
Dessert Bowl
1937 +
Replacements.com lists this pattern as Mea 389, I don't know if that is a Meakin # or one assigned by replacements.com
Poppies, wheat & I think the small blue & grey flowers are bachelor buttons
Does anyone know if Marigold is a series designation?
wow this is amazingly beautiful:) love the flowers in this:)
Thanks Sean & brat for the love & the wonderful comments. The colours in these bowls - I was given two of them - are so vibrant I was drooling over them the minute that I first saw them!
Thanks for the love & the comment Geno, it seems odd that a company that had hundreds of named designs would resort to a number for some items.
wow Bro , Sherry has some beautiful bowls to display :-) Love the colors , reminds me of wild flowers on a prairie xoxoxo
Thanks Sis for the love & the kind words, Sherry did claim a couple of the pieces that I brought home, but these are mine!
It's not often that you see heads of wheat on china.
Thanks for the comment & kind words Phil, I guess we'll all show a little wear at 75.
These bowls belonged to my elderly neighbours mother.
Thanks for the love gargoyle & nldionne.
The flowers & wheat are a beautiful marriage on white.
My Mom has a lot of Czech pottery with the same color/flower/wheat combination,.......but on black. Really lovely pieces that have been hanging on the walls at home since I was a child.
Thanks for the love petey & Moon.
Thanks for the love & sharing your story Budek, the wheat & flower combination seems prevalent in eastern European design.
Thanks for the love Moon.
Thanks for giving this some love Don.
