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.

Booths 'Nankin' Floral Bowls – Whieldon Ware Set of 3
By Booth's
Located in Worcester Park, GB
This vibrant floral bowl is a striking example of early 20th-century English transferware at its finest. What sets the 'Nankin' pattern apart is its exuberant border of hand-tinted blooms in vivid pinks, yellows, and cornflower blues, offset by ornate scrollwork. The design is at once lively and elegant — capturing the essence of English country charm while echoing the chinoiserie influences that inspired many early transferware patterns.
Crafted by Booths Ltd., a respected pottery firm based in Stoke-on-Trent, this bowl hails from a time when utility and artistry were perfectly entwined. The attention to detail — from the clarity of the transfer pattern to the hand-coloring — reflects a level of craftsmanship that’s increasingly rare. It's not just a bowl, but a slice of design history with practical beauty and enduring value. Whether used or displayed, it elevates the everyday.
Imagine a garden party in bloom, captured on porcelain. This medium-sized bowl has a creamy white base encircled by a riot of florals, delicately outlined and filled with rich, jewel-toned hues. The florals are framed by an intricate teal scroll border that adds a refined finish. It has a subtle gloss, a graceful profile, and just the right amount of vintage patina to show it’s lived a life well-loved.
The ‘Nankin’ pattern was produced under Booths’ "Whieldon Ware...
