Meakin, a well-known pottery company based in Staffordshire, England. Founded in 1851 by James and George Meakin, the company became famous for producing high-quality ironstone china, which was both durable and aesthetically pleasing. Ironstone was particularly popular during the 19th and early 20th centuries as it was more affordable and durable than porcelain, making it a staple in many households. The Avondale pattern, with its blue floral design, is a classic example of the timeless appeal of blue and white Transferware, a style that was highly fashionable during the Georgian and Victorian eras. J. and G. Meakin continued to produce fine ironstone and porcelain pieces until the company merged with the Wedgwood Group in the late 20th century. **In the Spirit of Saint Francis:** In the spirit of Saint Francis, 10% of the purchase price will be donated to the Humane Society to help animals in need. **Check Out Our Other Items:** Be sure to explore our other listings at Saint Francis Gifts on eBay for more unique and collectible items! **Thank you for your interest!**
