J & G Meakin, Poppy


J & G Meakin have been around since about 1852, so they know a little bit about making attractive patterns for tableware. In 1970 they joined the Wedgwood Group.

One of the most popular and easily recognised of their ranges was "Poppy". With its bright red flowers and some unusual shapes, it is easily identifiable and still has a large following. It will certainly brighten any table setting.

One of the problems for both dealers in this range, and for their clients is that Poppy is very prone to crazing, especially on the plates and saucers. We were delighted recently to be able to purchase a quantity of items of Poppy in very good condition. At the time of writing this blog, some of those items, are still available on our site at Replace Your China , including some interestingly shaped serving dishes.

Don't miss the opportunity to purchase your requirements of this scarce pattern. You might have a long wait before you seen any more.

Enjoy your tableware.
