Estate Sale Treasure from Historic Norwich, Vermont
The Discovery Story
Picture this: wandering through a charming Norwich, Vermont estate sale on a crisp autumn morning, the kind that benefits historic homes and libraries. Among the treasures, this stunning Alfred Meakin English Country House covered tureen caught our eye immediately - its warm harvest tones perfectly echoing the fall foliage outside.
About This Piece
This 1920s beauty represents the golden age of English Country House style, when Alfred Meakin's Staffordshire craftsmen created semi-porcelain that was both elegant and endlessly practical. Unlike delicate bone china, this sturdy piece was made for real life - family dinners, holiday gatherings, everyday moments that matter.
The delicate green flower and vine pattern dances across the surface, enhanced by molded classical details that catch the light beautifully. The original gold accents have aged gracefully, remaining in all the right places to highlight the design's elegant flourishes.

Condition
Wonderful vintage condition with minor age-appropriate wear. The piece shows a few gentle nicks and dings - nothing significant - that only add to its authentic character and century-old charm.

The Story It Carries
What makes this piece special isn't just its generous size or timeless pastoral pattern - it's the story. Rescued from an estate sale supporting historic preservation, it carries the warmth of a real home where it was loved and used. Ready to grace your table and create new memories while honoring its beautiful past - just like it did in that Vermont home.
