Set of three 9-inch bowls crafted by Johnson Bros in England. The set includes bowls from both ‘The Friendly Village’ and ‘The Olde Village’ collections. Each bowl is adorned with picturesque rural scenes rendered in multi-colored glazes under a topcoat, highlighting quintessential English countryside trees, buildings, barns, and bridges with vibrant seasonal foliage. The borders showcase an ornate ivy and leaf motif consistent with the classic Johnson Bros style.
The backs are marked with Johnson Bros manufacturer’s marks, including design names and accolades for permanent color and hand engraving. These bowls are notable examples of mid-to-late 20th-century English transferware, prized by collectors for their depiction of rural English life and durability due to underglaze decoration.
No chips or cracks are visible in the images provided, ensuring both decorative and practical value for collectors and enthusiasts of English ceramics.
