Founded in Staffordshire, England in 1883 by brothers Frederick and Alfred Johnson, Johnson Brothers celebrates over 130 years of excellence in leading ceramic tableware and housewares design. The success can be attributed to the timeless and homely nature of the collection's design style, ensuring each tableware pattern becomes a classic that is loved through generations of family year in, year out. Attention to detail and high quality standards sets the brand apart from others. One of the most notable and stately Johnson Brothers pattern is Old Britain Castles. The designs were engraved from drawings created by Miss Fennel in 1928, which were inspired by photographs of old engravings dating from 1792. This pair of oval serving platters would make a lovely wall display or addition to your dinnerware collection.*See my store for more pieces in the pattern.
