Despite the plane graphics, Beatles photos, and TWA branding, this “vintage souvenir” is a fantasy piece. The J. & G. Meakin maker’s mark dates to 1954-60, and the TWA logo predates 1962 — years before the Beatles’ actual tours. Likely made from real 1950s Meakin ceramics with later decals applied on top. TWA never made Beatles dishware; their real 1965 giveaways were bags, folders, and menus. Fun collectible, but not authentic ’60s merchandise.
