Johnson Brothers (Bros) Heritage

As you may know, Johnson Bros tableware has long been produced by Wedgwood, although usually retaining the Johnson Bros back stamp.

One of the very popular ranges, which has now become difficult to find is "Heritage". It was produced in the same shapes as was the ever popular "Eternal Beau", but was produced in a plain white colouring with no additional coloured patterning.

We have previously had great difficulty in obtaining items in this elegant Heritage pattern, so we were particularly pleased to obtain a large quantity of plates, cups, saucers and bowls in very good condition. These items are now offered on our web site at http://www.replaceyourchina.com/johnson-brothers-bros-heritage-95-c.asp

Once these items are sold we never know how long it will take us to find further supplies of Heritage, so do not miss this opportunity to top up your set of Johnson Bros, Heritage.

Enjoy your tableware,

Regards

Denby Pottery, Daybreak

Daybreak is another of the popular patterns from Denby Pottery, which are no longer produced. I think there is something about its understated patterning that stops users from getting fed up with it. Add to that, the fact that it has a good protective glaze, and it is not surprising that many people still prefer it to Denby Pottery's modern offerings.

We are delighted to have obtained a further quantity of Daybreak in excellent condition, including some rather unusual pieces, such as candlestick holders and a small lidded casserole. These offerings will not be available for long - Daybreak always sells quickly, so do not miss this opportunity to top up your set. To view these items visit our web site at Replace Your China

Enjoy your tableware.

Poole Pottery Cameo or Twintone?

Poole Pottery produced many colour ranges in the Cameo and the Twintone glazes. For a long time the ranges was produced at the same time and the shapes of the two ranges were largely the same.

Many people seem to confuse the two ranges but in fact they can easily be distinguished. Firstly the Cameo glaze has a much glossier finish, whereas Twintone has a more matt or silky finish. The other, more obvious way to differentiate between them is to look at a cup or jug. The inside of a Twintone cup will be in the complimentary colour of the "twin tones". For example the Twintone range of Sky Blue and Dove Grey will be Dove Grey on the outside and Sky Blue on the inside. In the case of the Cameo cup, the outside will display the main colour (eg Celeste, Blue Moon, Celadon), and the inside of the cup will be white.

I hope that helps a bit.

Enjoy your tableware.

J & G Meakin, Poppy

J & G Meakin have been around since about 1852, so they know a little bit about making attractive patterns for tableware. In 1970 they joined the Wedgwood Group.

One of the most popular and easily recognised of their ranges was "Poppy". With its bright red flowers and some unusual shapes, it is easily identifiable and still has a large following. It will certainly brighten any table setting.

One of the problems for both dealers in this range, and for their clients is that Poppy is very prone to crazing, especially on the plates and saucers. We were delighted recently to be able to purchase a quantity of items of Poppy in very good condition. At the time of writing this blog, some of those items, are still available on our site at Replace Your China , including some interestingly shaped serving dishes.

Don't miss the opportunity to purchase your requirements of this scarce pattern. You might have a long wait before you seen any more.

Enjoy your tableware.
