Description from the seller
A substantial 12-person dinner service in decorated English earthenware by the historic Johnson Bros. manufacturer, featuring the celebrated “Historic America” pattern, one of the most popular lines in British production in the second half of the twentieth century.
The service features refined brown transferware decoration, with figurative scenes evoking episodes, landscapes and architecture from America’s past. The contrast between the light ceramic ground and the brown design gives the pieces a warm, refined appearance, characteristic of the English brown transferware tradition.
The decoration is framed by ornamental borders that enhance the shape of each piece, creating a particularly harmonious and striking ensemble. The brown color palette makes the service easy to pair with both classic, traditional tables and country-, vintage- or colonial-style settings.
Historic America is one of the decorative lines that demonstrates Johnson Brothers’ ability to reinterpret historical subjects and atmospheres through transfer printing, combining English ceramic tradition with a taste for American iconography.
A service of great decorative charm, ideal not only for dining but also for display and collecting, thanks to the variety and storytelling character of its scenes.
The set is complete for 12 people and consists of 40 pieces:
12 dinner plates
12 soup plates
12 appetizer or dessert plates
1 soup tureen
1 round serving platter
1 oval serving platter
1 salad bowl
In perfect condition.
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo. I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
