Meigh Very Large Turkey Platter, circa 1851-1861

About the Item

C Meigh & Son Pottery - for over almost a century, was run successfully by Charles Meigh, beginning in 1834, when he took over the helm from his father, Joe and worked out of “Old Hall Pottery”, Hanley, Staffordshire from 1805, producing high quality stoneware and earthenware, finally closing in 1902. Meigh exhibited at the Great Exhibition and in 1886 won a medal. When researching Meigh Pottery, I could not find any platters of this scale, for it must have been made for the holidays, for it surely will hold a Turkey or any size roast. This particular very large platter come from the private collection of an English antique dealer who was from the town of Leek. There are no prior repairs visible. C MEIGH & SON C M & S 1851-1861.

  • 28 pc.Collection of "Dieulefit" Provencal French Yellowware att to Roger Mourre
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Dieulefit means "God made it," but in this small, Provencal town, there is little evidence of a single deity at work. Rather, there are many inspired artisans at their wheels, creating pottery and ceramic accessories ranging from traditional country stoneware for everyday cooking and dining to striking contemporary ceramics for the serious collector. Situated in the northern reach of Provence, a region little explored by Americans, Dieulefit is as accessible and appealing as the Luberon, the area in southern Provence. Dieulefit and the surrounding countryside offer up a feast for the senses. An area diverse in natural colors, textures and scents, this lush land is a haven for the creative spirit. The tradition of pottery making in the region is as rich as the precious clay that supplied commercial potters in the late 1800s. Today, however, most of the local artisans get their raw materials from producers throughout France. The utilitarian nature of the original rural wares finds a distinct counterpoint in the more decorative items that are currently available in the area's many ateliers, galleries and commercial stores. One of the more prominent names in the region is that of the Mourre family, headed by Roger and Yvette Mourre, first generation potters who have been producing classic earthenware for nearly 48 years. Viewing the pottery-making process is more like peering over the artisan's shoulder than witnessing a formal demonstration. The reserved yet cordial Roger Mourre...
