Saucers, Alfred Meakin, Concorde, Ironstone, Set of 5, England, Vintage

• Vintage Saucer, Meakin Concorde Pattern, English Ironstone, Dinnerware, Tableware, Blue & Green Bird Plates, Retro Pattern, Mid Century, (Discontinued)
• Made in England 
• Vintage: 1960's
• Details:  This set of 5 saucers has a very modern / retro looking pattern with blue and green flowers, leaves, and a green bird on a branch. It's called "Concorde", made by Alfred Meakin in the 1960's.  The cobalt blue and olive drab (army green) color combination plays very well with today's decor.  This is a hard pattern, if you are trying to collect this pattern, or need to replace broken saucers, we hope these are a happy find.  We like to mix our china patterns and thought this pattern looked very nice with a green dinner plate, we photographed the Bread & Butter Plate (which we also carry), with a green plate, but blue plates would work as well.  Saucers make wonderful under-plates for vinegar or oil bottles, planters, candles, kitchen sponge, and creative crafts.  Beautiful for serving lemon wedges at tea time, the bar or table.

In 1845 James Meakin manufactured at Newtown Works, Uttoxeter Road, Longton.  James had three sons, James, George and Alfred.   James and George founded J & G Meakin (also a well known producer of fine china and ironstone), while in 1874 the other son, Alfred, founded Alfred Meakin at Tunstall, England.   Alfred Meakin died in 1904 and was succeeded by his son Alfred James who died only four years later.  Alfred John's uncle Robert Johnson bought the company  for his son Stuart Johnson and it stayed in the Johnson family's hands until 1976 when it became Myott-Meakin before becoming part of the Churchill Group.
