A Profile Of Johnson Brothers Dinnerware

Alfred, Frederick and Henry Johnson bought their first factory in Hanley, Stoke on the Trent, England in 1882. A line of lightweight, fine, printed earthenware was introduced that became very successful soon after opening.

For those who value the traditional English style, Johnson Brothers dinnerware has time-honored, nostalgic patterns. With dinner, salad, and bread and butter plates, soup bowls and plates, teacups, and saucers, Johnson Brothers concentrates on earthenware dinnerware sets including service for four. Some dinnerware patterns by Johnson Brothers have been in production for over a hundred years and have been collected by several generations of families.

The cups, saucers and plates come in countless different shapes and patterns. Johnson Brothers makes top quality dinnerware that can last longer than a lifetime. When buying, keep in mind the following: How will you use your dinnerware? Do you have large family meals or quick, simple ones taken in a hurry? What about the design? Sophisticated or romantic, formal or casual, classical or fashionable, tableware design can be anything you desire.
