• Details:  This is a beautiful coffee pot made by the fine English pottery masters of J&G Meakin.  These two Meakin brothers made several different Colonial patterns:  Colonial Brown, Colonial Flow Blue, Colonial Garden, Colonial Green and probably others.  This coffee pot is in the "Colonial Sterling" pattern and probably the most versatile of all the Colonial patterns because, being all white, can be mixed with many different dinnerware sets. It has a simple embossed swirl design on the top rim and in the bottom third of the pot.  The handle is just beautiful, also with swirls along the top and bottom.  This piece is stamped on the bottom: "Sterling Colonial English Ironstone, J&G Meakin, England".  Perfect for a J&G Meakin collector, beautiful to display!

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.
