antique Royal Ironstone China Alfred Meakin soup bowls, brown on white Tea Leaf pattern

Late 1800s vintage Alfred Meakin England - Royal Ironstone China soup bowls, Tea Leaf pattern (a Victorian classic!) These are 8 3/4" in diameter, wide, shallow soup plate shape.

No chips or cracks to either of these, but both are showing their age, with noticeable wear and spotting. Lovely, characterful old English ironstone china.
