Alfred Meakin Ltd was founded in 1875 and operated from the Royal Albert, Victoria and Highgate Potteries in Tunstall. Alfred Meakin was the brother of James and George Meakin who ran a large pottery company in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent.

Alfred Meakin was one of the most prolific manufacturers of the Tea Leaf design, exported by many other Staffordshire companies following its introduction as a motif in the mid-1850s. 

In addition to wares for export, ordinary domestic and traditional tableware was made, such as the Bleu de Roi dinnerware, presented to King George V and Queen Mary on their 1913 Royal Visit to the pottery.
