Rare antique white ironstone sauce tureen by John Meir & Son Pottery. Complete set in Washington Shape with floral pattern and rope border. Includes original ladle and underplate. Early Meir mark with Royal Arms design.

The underplate showcases both a printed mark and an impressed mark, bearing the "registration diamond" issued by the British Patent Office. The label on top features the name John Meir & Son, while the bottom displays the Washington Shape. The registration diamond also includes an R-3-G, indicating the piece was created on August 3, 1863.

The set is in excellent condition with no chips, crazing or cracks.  The tureen measures 8" wide handle to handle and 3 ½” high without the lid.  With the lid, it measures approximately 6" high.  The underplate is 6" wide by 9 ¼” long.  The ladle is about 7" long. 

About John Meir & Son Potteries: In 1812, John Meir acquired Greensgate Pottery at Tunstall, Stoke-on-Tent in Staffordshire, England.  He worked alone until 1837, when his son joined the partnership, when at this time the firm was renamed from John Meir to John Meir & Son.  Together they produced high quality ironstone and earthenware, much of what was exported to the United States.  The family sold the business in 1896 to William Adams & Sons Potters.
