Lot Essay

Hicks & Meigh was one of the first and among the leading manufacturers of stone china, together with Masons, Spode and Davenport. This service is an extremely fine example of the richly decorated 'Japan' pattern stone china dinner and dessert services that were made from about 1813. For further discussion of the factory see Geoffrey A. Godden, Godden's Guide to Ironstone, Woodbridge, 1999, pp. 252-264, and p. 258, pl. 198 for an illustration of a plate decorated with pattern no.13, described by the author as largely hand-painted.

An extensive Hicks & Meigh service of the same pattern was sold at Christie's, London, 13 November 2018, lot 76.
