Vintage JOHNSON BROTHERS "Old
Britain Castles" Brown Multicolor English Ironstone Dinnerware.
Pattern Description: Brown/Multicolor Castles & Flowers.
Made in England. Discontinued. Actual: 1930 -
1960's? Johnson Brothers produced numerous
transferware patterns for its plates, platters, and pitchers. The firm is
most often associated with patterns featuring wild turkeys or the scenes in
the Historic America series. Summer Chintz was another favorite, as were the
Old Britain Castles from the late 1920s, which were engraved by an artist
identified only as Miss Fennel, the daughter of a master engraver.
Condition: There are no chips or
cracks or repairs. Crazing appears on several pieces, as does staining of the
crazing, so common for English Ironstone. These are noted in the detailed descriptions below. |
