Maker: Meigh  Pattern: British Cathedrals

Charles Meigh was at the Old Hall Works, Hanley, Staffordshire from 1832 to 1850. His British Cathedrals series is rare, even rarer than the Carey series. A view of St Pauls is recorded and this is the first recorded piece depicting Canterbury Cathedral and features as such in the Friends of Blue records. Has a blue printed cartouche on the back with the words British Cathedrals Canterbury CM and the impressed mark Improved Stone China with C Meigh and Hanley in Greek. The glaze is lightly crazed and a few age blemishes but really it is in excellent condition. A pretty piece, with its moulded side handles picked out in darker blue, and of great rarity.
