Brothers Fine Tableware

The Johnson Brothers Hearts and Flowers china collection depicts an imprint of a couple holding hands amidst a garden. The man is wearing a hat and a coat while the girl is wearing a hat and an apron on top of her dress. Set in old granite, their background is adorned with stylized tulips and other flowers and free-styled leaves can be noticed near their feet. Trimmings on cups and designs on borders made use of patterns of stylized flowers in blue ink.

The playful design is not as formal as the usual patterns Johnson Bros fine earthenware has. However, it still displays fine craftsmanship with traditional details of English fine china such as delicately scalloped trimmings and a semi-gloss glaze over the engravings.

There are plenty of pieces bearing the Johnson Brothers Hearts and Flowers print. There are plates of different purposes and sizes such as dinner plates, salad plates, bread and butter plates, dessert plates and serving platters. The set would understandably have the traditional English tea set complete with cups and saucers, a fine tea pot, 2-handle shallow sugar bowl with a cover and a creamer pot. There are pieces intended as a centerpiece but the other pieces such as 2-level tidbit trays and platters with handles would also instantly transform a setting.

Other accessories ideal for entertaining include a gravy boat with its own stand, salt and pepper shakers, egg holders, deviled egg platters and mugs. The playful design of this collection is perfect for serving breakfast in bed complete with a yellow daisy in a vase. It would also be good to add a quirky design for collectors of fine earthenware. Johnson Brothers Hearts and Flowers are unique in the world of tableware and will be great converstion pieces at the very least.
