EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures a close-up view of the Alfred Meakin Bleu de Roi Dinner Service, a magnificent porcelain set given to Queen Mary during her royal visit to Stoke-on-Trent, England on April 23, 1913. The service, named after the French phrase for 'blue of the king,' was presented to the Queen by Alfred Meakin, the renowned pottery manufacturer, in recognition of her visit to his factory. The intricately designed dinnerware set includes a variety of pieces, each adorned with the distinctive Bleu de Roi pattern. The image showcases a plate, a vegetable dish, a teapot, a coffee pot, a teacup and saucer, a milk jug, a sugar bowl, and a lid. The blue and white pattern is reminiscent of the French Royal Porcelain Factory of Sèvres, with its delicate floral motifs and elegant curves. The Alfred Meakin factory was renowned for its high-quality porcelain, and this dinner service was no exception. The set was produced during the 1910s, a time when the Arts and Crafts movement was gaining popularity, and the attention to detail and craftsmanship are evident in every piece. The Bleu de Roi Dinner Service was a testament to Alfred Meakin's commitment to producing beautiful and functional porcelain, and it remains a prized possession in the Royal Collection to this day. This photograph offers a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of the early 20th century, and serves as a reminder of the rich history of porcelain manufacturing in Stoke-on-Trent and the enduring legacy of Alfred Meakin.
