Thank you for choosing Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Your collection of Meakin transfer-ware is of modest (fair-market) value. At auction, I would expect the entire set to realize under $100. In April, a set of 51 Meakin dinnerwares in the Fair Winds pattern, failed to reach the the low estimate of $50 at auction, and the lot passed/did not sell.
Since these items were mass produced in the past 40 years, there just isn't a strong secondary market for them. However, there are people looking for replacement pieces, that might have been broken or lost from their set. If you are indeed looking to sell, I would suggest selling the pieces individually online, to realize the maximum potential of each piece, if you are willing to put in the time!
Please do let me know if you have any additional questions. I am happy to help!
