Large Vintage 1970's Royal Staffordshire Old Pekin Plate

The old Pekin pattern was one of the more popular designs released by J&G Meakin under their Royal Staffordshire trade name. The pattern was released in green, brown and blue versions always upon a crisp white background. This pattern was released after J&G Meakin had been taken over by the Wedgwood Group in 1970. Other trade names, besides Royal Staffordshire, used by the firm were J&G Meakin, SOL, Vitresol, Studio Ware, Ironstone China and English Staffordshire. The pattern itself displays beautiful green toned flowers with white scroll motifs into Asian shaped forms draped from a band around the verge. The item here is an octagon shaped large ironstone ceramic plate.

Stamped underneath “Royal Staffordshire, Old Pekin, Ironstone, J&G Meakin, England, Dishwasher Safe”.

Besides some age related crazing, the item is in very good condition with no cracks, chips or visible damages.
