I have found a lot of Old english Staffordshire wares made by Alfred Meakin on line, have a couple myself. These are reproduction of old Staffordshire images done by Alfred Meakin. They have a whole line of products under this hallmark, different images of Blue and White Styles. As for value I saw quite a spread, but looks to be around $10.00 to $20.00 on line. Thrift store is about $8.00 to $10.00. But you have something a bit better then I have seen on line. These was made espically for a very famous Inn, Hotelware has a very large collector base at least with it silver and silverplate items, I'm sure this is true with it Porcelain and Stoneware items. I can see these easily bring $50.00 each because of this. The only thing I can place for date would be after 1928 due to this is when the end was built. I would guess it is pre 40's at least.
