Johnson Brothers, a Staffordshire maker which was for many years the largest and most successful exporter of British pottery to the American market. The wares it produced were representative of what was being manufactured by dozens of other potteries such as Meakin, Grindley, Adams, Myott, and Wedgwood. These tableware patterns reflected the aesthetic values of their respective time periods, showing what the purchasers considered to be beautiful or stylish.
