Lot of 4 J & G Meakin, Blue Nordic, 7" Dessert/Pie Plates, English Ironstone

Offered are 4 dessert/pie plates crafted by J & G Meakin in England in their Blue Nordic pattern. This hand engraved pattern features a classic blue onion design on delicate white English Ironstone with an embossed swirl rim. It is a lovely but discontinued pattern.

These 7-inch plates are in nice vintage condition with no chips, cracks, repairs, stains, and very little bottom wear. There is some light crazing, but primarily on only two of the plates. There are also a few small pits on the backsides of two or three of the plates, the worst of which is shown in the photo. IMO these look typical of the kind of features often seen on stoneware dishware.

The plates are dishwasher safe. They would be perfect used as replacement pieces or combined into a unique mix-and-match set. (They would combine nicely with other classic blue and white patterns.) They would also make a nice gift for someone who collects the pattern.
