Description from the seller
Important service of dishes for 12 people in English earthenware decorated by the historic Johnson Bros. manufactory, with the famous pattern "Tulip Time", one of the most appreciated lines of British production in the second half of the twentieth century.
Each piece is adorned with evocative countryside views with windmills, waterways, boats and architectures typical of the Netherlands, enclosed within a rich floral frame composed of tulips and stylized vegetal motifs. The blue underglaze decoration on white background recalls the Delft ceramics tradition, reinterpreted according to the elegant English taste that has made Johnson Bros production famous worldwide.
The contoured shapes of the rims, embellished with light grooves and wavy profiles, confer the service a particular elegance, while the quality of the earthenware guarantees robustness and practicality of use. The ensemble expresses a perfect balance between functionality and decorative value, making it ideal both for a classical table and as a collectible object.
The decor "Tulip Time" represents one of the most fascinating interpretations of North European tradition in English ceramic production of the 20th century, particularly appreciated for its iconographic richness and delicate chromatic harmony.
The set is complete for 12 people and consists of 43 pieces:
12 dinner plates
12 soup plates
12 appetizer or dessert plates
1 tureen
1 round tray
1 oval tray
1 gravy boat
1 sauce ladle
1 oval saucer
2 salad bowls
Excellent condition.
