Amongst the seaside themes produced by Meakin were Fisherman's Cove, Polperro, Regatta, Brixham, Clovelly, St. Ives, and Nice. Stylistically they are very similar with use of similar motifs in similar colours. Some of the wares are back-stamped with a colourful stamp and the name of the design, other times just the Alfred Meakin stamp....making it difficult to tell which seaside pattern you have.

How fantastically psychedelic are these plates!
They are from are series of plates called "Beefeater" - There were 6 plates in this series, and there were also 6 round plates, 6 mugs and 6 bowls with the same designs, but much less commonly found.
