c1810 Antique 13 piece Tea Ware Set by Hicks & Meigh Earthenware Chrysanthemum Pattern

 The pattern is very detailed with a frog spawn background and chrysanthemum flowers inspired by Chinese designs which influenced English potteries.

The Chrysanthemum pattern from 1810 is a beautiful example of early 19th-century English earthenware.

 This pattern features intricate floral designs inspired by Chinoiserie, a style that incorporates East Asian artistic elements.

These pieces are highly valued by collectors for their historical significance and detailed craftsmanship.
