Vintage Alfred Meakin "Fair Winds" Ironstone Coffee Pot

An exemplary specimen of Alfred Meakin's "Fair Winds" collection, this coffee pot features meticulously rendered brown transferware illustrations of the U.S.S Constitution and Grand Turk Under Full Sail on opposite facades. Based on historical copper engravings documenting Chinese-American trade relations, the vessel exhibits sophisticated nautical imagery accented by ornamental floral garlands positioned near the upper rim. The decorative pattern continues seamlessly onto the lid, enhancing its aesthetic cohesion. With dimensions of 10 inches in height and 9½ inches in width, this piece serves dual purposes as both a functional serving vessel and a distinguished collectible that embodies maritime ceramic artistry.
