A picture library of over 500 identified patterns, both antique and vintage. The only place in the world you can find so many patterns all together. 3 years in the making. Painstakingly put together by Frannie, but pictures thanks to hundreds of ebay sellers and other sources on the internet.

We have a new site at http://sites.google.com/site/meakinchina/Home which we hope will be easier to search when it's done.

This group is for collectors or anyone needing to look up a pattern name of vintage J&G Meakin China. Celeste, Rosa, Jade and Sunflower, Sunshine, English Scenes and other pictured items, South Seas, Studioware, and Formal Dinnerware, there are hundreds. We hope you will join us and together we will learn all about this unique china, it's history, patterns, unusual pieces and stories. Please join and share your pictures.

I am not an expert, and cannot offer dating or valuation of pieces, other than general information that we as a group learn from our collections.

The Rosa china on the right came from a retired police officer in New York. It was such a special set, I didn't care about the postage cost all the way to Australia. The pride of the collection. The picture is the original one taken in New York, before I bought it.
