Johnson Brothers Desert Rose 28-Piece Set

Image
Great value from a wonderful company I ordered this 28 piece Johnson Brothers/Franciscan dinnerware set from Barron’s through Amazon. When I received it in the mail it was securely wrapped up and everything was safe inside. And shipment was fast. A few weeks later, I received a hand-written note from Barron’s thanking me for the purchase! Great customer service! desert rose dishes the service was great and the item ordered arrived in perfect condition. this will help complete my granddaughter’s dishes. My favorite dishes ! I already owned a set of these dishes but when I found out they were not manufacturing them I got on line to find them, one set left on Amazon .. And I got it !! I love these because unlike the original dessert rose dishes these are dishwasher safe, microwaveable and oven proof. My aunt has some original dessert rose they have been the apple of my eye since I was a little girl however they are hand painted and you could never use them for everyday like the ones I...

Johnson Brothers Historic America Sandwich Tray Board

Image
Here are some details: This is a 12 3/4 X 7 1/4 inch platter that is somewhere between rectangular and oval. It is sepia toned with acorn border. I don’t know whether every dish in a specific size has the same image, but mine is a picture of Broadway (NY) about a century ago. The backstamp calls it “Historic America II,” indicates safe in dishwasher and microwave, and says it is made in England. First, the good news….(see update) (Update): Since there is now an image, Amazon must have received a new shipment that is not made up of the ‘seconds’ it was shipping to customers last month. Perhaps the purchaser will be lucky enough to actually discern the image. (Original): Nicely packaged, inexpensive and made in England. Now, the Bad: It is unsurprising an image is not available. These sandwich trays (I purchased 3) are all seconds. The scene depicted is Broadway, NYC. You have to use your imagination, though. Try to think of a copy that has been run on a printer low on ink and you hav...

Johnson Brothers Historic America 10-Inch Salad Bowl

Image
Very nice! I bought 3 of these…one for me and each of my sister-in-laws, since our last name is Marshall. I use it for salads, vegetables, you name it. One of my sister-in-laws uses it as a fruit bowl and its always on her counter. Who knows about the other one? Its sturdy, attractive, and my 9 year old son loves it because it has an acorn pattern around the outside and he loves acorns! Great buy! The matching peices are great, too!

Johnson Brothers Old Britain Castles 12-Piece Holiday Dinnerware Set, Service for 4

Image
Beautiful and high quality I purchased two sets of the Johnson Brothers Old Britain Castles 12-piece Holiday Dinnerware. It is beautiful and very nice quality. I actually was expecting a stoneware or earthenware product. But it is just the opposite. I was somewhat hesitant to purchase the set because it is described as pink and I really did not want pink. The color is more of what I would call a county red. I would recommend this set. It really is beautiful. Affordable compliment to the Johnson Brothers sets. For the price these are great. I have a Johnson Brothers set made in England and these don’t compare. They are not going to holdup as well, The patterns are not as clear. But they are affordable, dishwasher and microwave proof and I am not going to cry if my kids break a plate, so I can bring them out after Thanksgiving and celebrate a season rather than just bringing them out for one meal. I like that they are just cream and red, they mix well with lots of other sets. Definite...

Johnson Brothers Old Britain Castles 20-Piece Dinnerware Set, Pink

Image
love the design Since i probably won,t make it to England i can enjoy a bit of it at mealtime. I only wish the cups were a bit bigger. Overall ,love the set. Love This China I have owned these dishes now for about a year. Everyone who sees them loves the pattern. I have never gotten so many compliments on dinnerware in my life! And it’s not just one castle on all the pieces; images vary from piece to piece. They are lovely and interesting to look at empty but even more importantly they are a great back drop to the presentation of my food. Truly makes a beautiful photo-op of a well crafted dinner for us “foodies.” Plus every time I use them I reminisce about my wonderful trip to England! Don’t hesitate to order yours today! I should say a word about durability I suppose. Absolutely no problems thus far and I am far from gentle in the kitchen. OLD FASHIONED DESIGN WITH MODERN CONVENIENCE Dishwasher and microwave safe, and an old-timey design to boot! I have the best of both worlds. Can’...

Johnson Brothers Willow Blue Teapot

Image
Missing Specs in the description? I got suspicious when I noticed that other teapots have at least a capacity mentioned as to how many ounces of tea will they hold. So I called up Relacements,Ltd. (a dealer in Johnson Brothers china) to find out exactly what ARE the specs on this teapot. It’s 4 3/8″ high and it’s what they call a 5 cup teapot. A teacup has a capacity of 6 ounces,therefore this pot holds about 30 ounces of tea. I’ve ordered the 13 piece Willow tea set from them and am awaiting it’s arrival. These Johnson Brotheres china pieces have the ability to be freezer,dishwasher,and microwave safe; no such claims are mentioned by those other willow pattern pieces of china being sold on Amazon. Which could explain the HIGH rate of breakage among those pieces of china. I thought you fellow Amazon purchasers might like to know this. This is My Second One I bought this exact teapot from the discount store Marshall’s for $20. I had it for almost seven years and then it got bumped down...

Johnson Brothers Old Britain Castles 20-Piece Set

Beautiful China! My mother purchased this set for my wife and I for Christmas from Kohls. She ordered it online and the set arrived with 4 broken pieces….maybe Amazon packages it better. I love the fact that everything is Dishwasher, Freezer, and Microwave safe. The dishes seem very durable and the print is very nice. I love the different castle designs. I rate this only 4 stars because this set is actually made in China….even though it is stamped Johnson Brothers England… Beautiful tableware Ordered the 20 piece set from Amazon using the the standard free shipping and recieved my order within 5 days. Well packaged and all pieces were intact. Pieces are beautifully designed and printed. Very well pleased with the purchase and the quality of the merchandise. Plan to order another 20 piece set along with some accessories. Highly recommend. different and not as good I ordered to replace broken pieces. The molds have been changed, so the plates no longer stack properly. The quality is sti...

Johnson Brothers Blue Willow 20 Piece Set

Image
Pretty but Broken The dishes are pretty but were poorly packaged and arrived broken. That was a big disappointment. The pattern looks good but even though these dishes say England on the bottom, a sticker on each item says “Made in China.” The marking on the bottom of the dishes just means that it is an English company. Unfortunately not packaged for shipping I read the reviews and knew the risk going in. As mentioned by nearly every other reviewer this set of dishes is not packaged for shipping. I don’t know why anyone would ship anything like this. Lucky for me only one saucer is broken. Beautiful set, but broken pieces Beautiful set, very poor packaging. As such, because of more than 4 broken pieces, I had to return the set. Now waiting for reimbursement. I have seen other comments about this set with similar content. Maybe Amazon would be able to improve packaging, and then there will be more happy customers. Click to Editorial Reviews

Johnson Brothers Old Britain Castles Blue Platter

Image
Quite lovely and sturdy enough for everyday use I noticed off and online here with some other comments on Johnson Brothers products, people were not happy with the quality. I think at this price the quality is really quite good. No, they aren’t made in England anymore, but in today’s economy I have to be realistic, and if I want the real English stuff it’s hundreds of dollars. But this is a lovely and functional plate.

Johnson Brothers Friendly Village 20-Piece Set, Service for 4

Image
Love them:) I really love these dishes (provided they come in one piece as noted by another reviewer, and YES Amazon is great about replacements). They’re perfect for a country decor and durable enough for everyday use including in the dishwasher. I’m afraid to run the heated dry though, because of the pattern, but there’s nothing saying it would be harmed at all – that’s just me, I prefer not to find out;) You’ll be happy with the purchase. In love! I have wanted this pattern for years but it was always so expensive that I put off the purchase. This was a price I just couldn’t pass up. I also got the buy three get one free offer so that made the deal even sweeter. These dishes are just beautiful. I did have a few broken pieces in a couple of sets but Amazon took care of the problem so fast I could not believe it. They rate number one in customer service! I am beyond thrilled. My family also thinks they are just beautiful and my table looks gorgeous for every meal. I could not be happ...

Johnson Brothers Friendly Village Covered Teapot

Image
Now made in China I have an extensive set of Johnson Bros. Friendly Village – all made in England. Recently my teapot slipped from my soapy hands and chipped in several places, so I bought this one to replace it. It’s okay and matches the cups and saucers well enough, but I don’t like it as well as my original teapot that had the words “Made in England” impressed on the bottom. It looks and feels a bit chunkier than the original. Although I am disappointed I will keep it and use it, but if this were to chip or break I probably would not replace it again. great item The teapot came in perfect. I love it. It shows a set of dishes but you get the teapot..really nice Lovely teapot…with a touch of nostalgia I bought this because it reminded me of the teapot my grandmother had many years ago. When I (or other granddaughters) would visit, grandma would make a big deal of serving us afternoon tea complete with finger sandwiches and scones. Now I can continue this tradition with my own grandda...

Johnson Brothers Friendly Village Covered Sugar

Sugar bowl to complete the set in style Very quick service and very well packaged. Johnson Brothers Friendly Village is a delightful design and in this case much better executed than the overseas manufactured pieces. An excellent product The sugar bowl was just as pretty as pictured, it arrived as promissed and in perfect condition. I would order it again if I needed another, but let’s hope not!

Johnson Brothers Friendly Village Covered Vegetable

Image
BEST PRODUCT IN YOUR KITCHEN I’M VERY HAPPY I LOVED IS SUPERO GOOD KEEP FOOD WARM FOR LONG TIME IS DISH WASHED SAFE SIDE AND PRICE SI MAGNIFICA I’M SASTIFEDED CUSTUMER WITH THIS AND OTHER PLATES EVERYTHING FROM JOHNSON BROTHERS I RECOMENDED TO ENY ONE TO BUY THANK YOU SINCERELY ISABEL MATHERLY aaa these products are true to label and a must have in any ones dinner ware collection and affordable. I have added to ours and now think I have a great table presentation Love it This covered vegetable is just lovely and, of course, the same beautiful pattern that I love. I would mention that it is a bit smaller than the standard size serving bowls we have now. I think our portions today are larger so our modern serving bowls are larger. So if it appears a bit smaller it’s probably because this is from a different time when we ate less…I think! Click to Editorial Reviews

Johnson Brothers Friendly Village 19.5-Inch Turkey Platter

Image
Friendly Village Turkey Platter This is a wonderful item that is gorgeous. It is very large and is colored to match the rest of the Friendly Village china set. I am very pleased with it. It will become a regular part of our holiday dinners!!! One big platter! In keeping with the quality of Johnson Brothers products, it is very nice. Held my 25 pound turkey, and when not in use looks great on my Welch Cupboard. DB Little disapointed It was $90.00 I wouldn’t mind paying that much if it sat flat and didn’t rock back and fourth. I couldn’t find a phone number to call any one. Click to Editorial Reviews
