Alfred Meakin "Hereford" Vintage Birthday Tea Box (ref. 42)
Celebrate their special day with a thoughtful gift that's as unique as they are.
Each Birthday Vintage Tea Gift Box includes 2 trios (cup, saucer, side plate), 2 silver plated teaspoons and 2 bucks blend tea pillows, a hand-poured soy candle with scented wax melts, a happy birthday balloon with table stand (needs assembling), together with a happy birthday poem card. This gift is presented in a beautiful keepsake box.
Beautifully crafted in the heart of the English potteries, this charming vintage set features the much loved Hereford pattern by Alfred Meakin of Staffordshire. Known for producing elegant and practical tableware throughout the 20th century, Alfred Meakin became one of England's most recognised pottery houses, celebrate for combining quality craftmanship with timeless British design. The earthy tones and botanical detailing give this set wonderfully nostalgic feel, reminiscent of harvest tables and comforting cups of tea. The design was created using a hand engraved transfer process applied beneath the glaze, helping preserve the rich detailing and colour for generations.
A truly thoughtful gift and a little piece of English heritage, ready to be loved again.
Each set from The Fancy China Company is carefully selected and lovingly presented to celebrate the enduring joy of tea. We hope you enjoy your vintage tea gift set.
A note on craftsmanship: each piece in this collection is vintage bone china, crafted using traditional methods. You may notice tiny inclusions, specks or irregularities within the glaze - these occurred naturally during the original firing process and are part of the piece’s unique character. Far from flaws, these subtle variations and light signs of age are a reminder of the hand-finished nature of vintage china and the story each piece carries through time.
