Alfred Meakin Coffee Pot and Jug

The jug and coffee pot are Alfred Meakin, pattern unknown at this stage, and the maker's mark appears to suggest that the china was made 1945+.  (See the link to the maker's marks on the right.)  These two items were recently purchased in a well known local boutique.
I was unsure about what the jug was for, I thought originally it was too large for a milk jug, but now I wonder if it is a breakfast set, with a large milk jug for cereal?  Does anyone know?

 The maker's mark, denoting production 1945+ according to the Antiques and Dynasties website.
