J & G Meakin were earthenware manufacturers of domestic tableware at Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent
Prior to 1945 they made predominantly inexpensive export wares, particularly for the American market. 
In the 19th century the firm was well-known for its white granite (undecorated ironstone) wares in imitation of contemporary French porcelain.
In the 20th century the firm has been most widely recognised for the "Sol" wares produced between 1912 and 1963 for home and hotel use.
Post war expansion in the home market for domestic tableware resulted in the production of a wide range of traditional and fashionable shapes and patterns.
In 1968 Meakins joined with Midwinters. 
In 1970 they were taken over by the Wedgwood group. 
Condition: Very Good.
