Johnson Brothers "Old English" Tea Cup — England
Classic English Pottery from a Beloved Heritage Maker
This delightful tea cup is part of the Old English pattern by Johnson Brothers, one of England's most celebrated and collected pottery makers. Founded in 1883 in Hanley, Staffordshire, Johnson Brothers built a reputation for beautifully crafted, affordable fine china that graced tables across Britain and America for generations.
The Old English pattern is a quintessential expression of that tradition — a vibrant hand-painted style floral bouquet of pink roses, cobalt blue morning glories, and warm orange blossoms, set against a crisp white ground and finished with a rich gold rim and double gold-accented handle. It's the kind of cup that makes teatime feel like an occasion.
