Dessert Dish c1825
John Meir of Greengates, Tunstall active from 1812 and succeeded by John Meir & Son. Delightful English country scene.
No maker's backstamp.
The glaze is very finely crazed, hardly noticeable, as it is bright and clean. Three stilt marks on face. Short hairline running in from rim at 9 o'clock, gets lost in the pattern, so does not spoil the look of this charming dish.
Dimensions: 28 cm x 22.5 cm / 11 ins x 8.75 ins

Plate c1820
Made by John Meir of Tunstall, active from 1812 and later John Meir & Son of Greengates Pottery, Tunstall.
Attractive English country scene of two boys fishing in river, with cows and water-mill beyond and mansion in distance.
Printed in fairly dark blue and lovely sense of perspective from the use of light and dark tones.
Backstamp is an impressed MEIR.
Some signs of use and a rub to the rim, but the glaze is sound and this whole plate is bright and clean. Lovely smaller plate in this popular pattern.
Dimensions: 21 cm / 8.25 ins
