Meakin used this marking from 1912, the design looks to date  up to the early 30's. values for Meakin sets tend to be modest, as they mass produced earthenware for the Export market. We see sets like this go for less than $150.00 at auction. Here is a link with everythiung you need to know about the company : https://sites.google.com/site/meakinchina/Home
