J&G Meakin Sun 391413 Porcelain Serving Dishes – Set of 5
An unusually beautiful and complete set of serving platters from English J&G Meakin, where the elegant design language of the Art Deco period meets timeless functionality.
This original set consists of five oval serving platters in the classic "Sol 391413" model from the 1930s. The design is characterized by the distinctive light blue rim, the ivory-white center, and the delicate gold edge, which together create a refined and harmonious expression.
The five platters come in three sizes and can be perfectly stacked inside each other. This is both a practical and aesthetic detail that underlines the thoughtful quality of the English design. The set is ideal for serving everything from cakes and fruit to cheeses and small appetizers, but also looks beautiful as part of the decor.
Selected with a focus on quality, aesthetics, and the history behind each unique find.

J&G Meakin was founded in Staffordshire, England, and over the 19th and 20th centuries, built a reputation for quality production of porcelain and ceramics for both the domestic market and export.
Although the Sol series is not attributed to a named designer, it clearly reflects the Art Deco period's focus on elegance, function, and well-balanced forms. The result is a set that remains both classic and contemporary almost 100 years after its creation.
