Vintage Alfred Meakin Staffordshire Fair Winds The Friendship of Salem Brown Fruit Bowls- Set of 12

Detailed set of 12, 5.25″ Alfred Meakin Staffordshire Fair Winds Fruit Bowls

The pattern of this wonderful set of bowls was created from original copper engravings depicting historical scenes of Chinese Export to America. The pattern is titled “The Friendship of Salem”.

The scenes on the bowl feature a federal eagle crest, a Canton Port in 1830 and the New York Harbor in 1830. The Latin words “E. Pluribus Unum” can be seen at the top of the bowl. The center scene features an American tall ship and a smaller Chinese ship sailing in the harbor. A city can be seen in the background of the harbor.

This wonderful fruit bowl set is perfect for a dinner party or an everyday breakfast. The set is equally at home in English Traditional or more Eclectic settings. The reddish brown and antique white colors of this bowl set allow it to blend wonderfully with autumnal and holiday tablescapes.

If you are looking for a more complete dinner set, we are also selling teacups and saucers, a tea/coffee pot, dinner plates, salad plates and a platter in this same pattern. Sold separately on this Chairish store.
