Antique Charles Meigh Polychrome Flow Blue "Poonah" Footed Plate

Celebrate the artistry of early 19th-century English ceramics with this exquisite antique Charles Meigh footed plate, produced in Staffordshire, England between 1834 and 1840. Crafted in the highly collectible “Poonah” pattern, this rare piece beautifully showcases Meigh’s masterful blend of flow blue transferware enhanced with hand-applied polychrome enamels—a combination prized by collectors for its depth, character, and intricate detailing.

The plate features a richly scrolled rim and elevated footed base, adding refinement and dimension to its display presence. The flow blue design, inspired by Indian florals and Eastern motifs, softens into the creamy white body of the earthenware, creating the dreamy, feathered edges that define the best early flow blue. Accents of hand-painted color bring the pattern to life, offering a stunning contrast and highlighting Meigh’s distinctive style.
