Vintage Johnson Bros. "Old English" Floral Rimmed Bowls, Set of 4
About the Item
This delicate Johnson Bros. bowl is a charming example of mid-century English tableware, distinguished by its scalloped edges, rich floral detailing, and soft, gilded rim. The design features hand-painted floral garlands interspersed with vivid cobalt-blue scrolls and gilded flourishes—an uncommon pattern that exemplifies the romantic charm of vintage English ceramics. The balance of color, detail, and form makes this piece a standout for collectors and decorators alike.
Crafted by Johnson Bros., one of England’s most esteemed pottery makers, this bowl carries a legacy of quality and refinement. Its pristine condition, despite its age, adds to its rarity. The hand-finished elements and gilded edge underscore the craftsmanship that has become increasingly scarce in modern production. This piece is more than functional—it’s a tangible slice of ceramic history and a beautiful investment for any fine tableware or vintage décor collection.
Imagine a softly ivory-toned ceramic bowl, slightly deeper than a dessert plate, with gentle scalloping along the edges. Around the rim, a dance of delicate roses and wildflowers weaves between cobalt-blue cartouches with gold flourishes. The gold trim adds just the right touch of elegance, catching the light with a subtle shimmer. The piece feels romantic and refined—perfect for a formal tea setting or as a decorative object on a vanity or console.
This bowl was produced in England by Johnson Bros., a family-run company founded in 1883 and renowned for making "semi-porcelain" wares that combined the elegance of fine china with everyday durability. The "Old English" mark featured on this bowl dates it to the mid-20th century. Johnson Bros. became a staple in British and American homes for their charming, accessible designs and exceptional quality. Their floral patterns, in particular, became synonymous with countryside charm and timeless English style.
Whether displayed on a shelf or used to serve fresh berries and cream, this Johnson Bros. bowl brings enduring beauty to any space.
