• Details:  This is such a wonderful ironstone creamer and a rare find! The pattern is called Copenhagen by J&G Meakin made in England, it has blue flowers & vines, with a scalloped rim, it's a simple and elegant pattern, combining functional elegance with enduring craftsmanship.  The backstamp shows this was part of the "Classic" line of ironstone, introduced in 1963.  However, we know the Copenhagen pattern was introduced after J&G Meakin joined the Wedgwood Group in 1970, so that's how we dated this piece.  If you are trying to collect this pattern, this creamer is hard to find.  A great find for collectors and enthusiasts of traditional English tableware.

J. & G. Meakin was an English pottery manufacturing company founded in 1851 and based in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.  Two brothers, James and George, took over their father's (James Sr.), pottery that was on Cannon St., but stayed only one year at Cannon St before moving the factory to Market St where they stayed for 7 years.  In 1859 they completed a new building with advanced equipment and cutting edge technology and relocated to the now famous Eagle Pottery.  In 1887 J & G purchased the Eastwood Pottery from brother Charles Meakin, becoming the largest potting company in Britain, manufacturing wares primarily for export to the US and British Empire Colonies.  Meakins remained a family owned business for over 100 years.  In 1968 they took over the Midwinter Pottery.  In 1970 they were taken over by the Wedgwood group.  The Eagle Pottery closed in 2004 when production was transferred overseas.
