Indian Tree Dishware Set

This is a lovely vintage Indian Tree pattern ironstone china lot in a classic English transferware style, featuring pieces by Johnson Bros and Alfred Meakin (Staffordshire, England). The lot includes teacups and saucers, shallow bowls, and plates in coordinating sizes, all with the iconic floral/tree motif and geometric border in black with hand-applied color accents (pink, blue, green, and yellow tones). This is a great set for display, tea service, mixing into an existing Indian Tree collection, or cottage/traditional table styling. From the photos, the pieces show expected vintage wear and some variation due to being a mixed-maker lot, but overall present very well.
