Adams (member of Wedgwood) - Dinner service (48) - Real English Ironstone

A broad and excellent-condition set of the "Minuet" service, the design Adams & Sons inherited from J. Meir & Son’s nineteenth-century plates and reinterpreted in their own Staffordshire manufacture, with classical scenes of buildings and lakeside landscapes in black and white.

Produced by William Adams & Sons, a firm founded in 1657 and a member of the Wedgwood group, each piece is stamped as "Real English Ironstone" and "Member of the Wedgwood Group," placing its manufacture after 1966. This lot includes, in addition to the plates, the service pieces typical of a full dinnerware set: soups tureen with original ladle, bean dish, and sauce boat.
