This is a set of two Alfred Meakin white ironstone platters. Both platters are simple in design, and both are solid white. One is a large oval platter, and the other is a rectangle. Both have an outer border with an inset middle that matches the shape of the platter. Both are marked Royal Ironstone China Alfred Meakin England on the bottom. This mark dates the platters to pre-1897 when Ltd. was added to the Alfred Meakin name.
The platters are in fair antique condition for their age and use. Both have glazing divots with staining around the divots. The rectangle platter has a red mark in the center of the platter. I can't tell if this means that it used to have a transfer print that has since washed away or if its transfer from something like a napkin or kitchen towel later on. Both have small stained chips, and the oval platter has several larger stained chips to the underside of the rim. Neither platter has any cracks.
The oval platter measures 14.75 inches long by 10.5 inches wide. It is 1.25 inches tall. The rectangle platter measures 14 inches long by 10 inches wide. It is 1.25 inches tall.
