Hamilton Alfred Meakin Ltd England Flow Blue

Posted by Cindy on September 26, 2023, 9:07 pm

Hi! I have 35+ pieces of Hamilton Alfred Meakin flow blue dishes. I would love to know the year they were made and value, if available. I'm hoping they are from the 1800's. Thanks for your help. Have a blessed day.

Hi Cindy. Hamilton by Alfred Meakin was made circa 1891-1898. Our pattern id database shows 1891 as a circa date, but in VanBuskirk's book of Late Victorian Flow Blue, it gives a date closer to 1897-1898. We do not give values as there are too many variables to consider. Your best course of action would be to look on eBay to see what your pattern pieces have sold for. You have to take into consideration the condition of pieces, size, etc. Thank you for contacting us.

Thank you for this valuable information. I really appreciate you dating it for me. I have had a difficult time finding any of this pattern online. Maybe it is a more rare pattern?? Not sure, but it is very hard to find online. Thanks again!

There are some patterns that caught on with the public, and others that didn't. Your Hamilton pattern is lovely, but it may not have had a longer run in production that some other flow blue patterns did. What you might do is look at some of the other Late Victorian patterns that are on eBay, such as Argyle (Grindley) or Normandy (Johnson Bros), to get an idea of what your pieces might be valued at. Are you looking at values for insurance purposes or are you wanting to sell the items?
