Brothers Fine Tableware

The Johnson Brothers Brookshire has a creamy stoneware background that perfectly matches the array of wild birds that include mallards, ducks, pheasants, ganders and grouse. All of these birds are painted in watercolor with ornate details. The collection has a theme of rural country life that of an English gentleman.

The Johnson Brothers Brookshire plates are delicately scalloped. The duck border also has some grass and leaves to complete the bird life atmosphere it wants to convey. The plates have green trimming as an accent to the border of wild birds. The design of creamy backdrop and the duck border from the collection is simple and elegant.

Aside from the variations of plates, there are other pieces that are worth collecting. There are tea sets that include majestic teapots, cups and saucers, sugar bowl and cover and creamer. There are also 2-layer dessert trays, serving platters and soup bowls. There is even a salt and pepper shaker all made with this pattern. The glaze over the engravings serves as protection for this fine china. These pieces can be on display but they are also durable for everyday use that makes the collection very versatile. The pieces are also microwave oven safe. The Johnson Bros were made popular by their developments in producing tableware. They revolutionized semi-porcelain which is as sturdy as ironstone yet it has the characteristics of fine china. Being lightweight, durable and having wondrous details, it was not long until many people embraced their low cost earthenware.

Whatever the case may be, the Johnson Brothers Brookshire collection is a great choice for any dining room.
