Johnson Bros Sheraton Dish Set

This vintage Johnson Bros “Sheraton” ironstone set is a large English transferware/hand-colored floral dinnerware grouping in a soft cream ground with a romantic bouquet motif. Based on the backstamp shown, the pieces are made in England by Johnson Bros and appear to be a mid-20th century set. The set includes serving pieces, dinner/salad/bread plates, bowls, a creamer, and a double-handled open sugar bowl, making it a great starter or replacement lot for collectors of Johnson Bros floral patterns. The pattern has a classic cottage/English country look with scalloped rims and multicolor floral decoration. Condition appears good vintage overall with typical age/use wear (light utensil marks, minor wear, and possible small inconsistencies from a mixed/loved set). I do not see enough in the photos to confirm every piece individually, so note that a full hands-on inspection is recommended before listing.

Bullet Points

• Brand/Maker: Johnson Bros

• Pattern: Sheraton

• Country Made In: England

• Materials: Ironstone / glazed ceramic earthenware

• Style: English country, cottage, traditional floral, vintage transferware

• Theme: Floral bouquet / garden flowers

• Age: Vintage, likely mid-20th century (approx. 1940s–1960s)

• Food Safe: Likely yes for display/light use, but because this is vintage decorated ware, best practice is to sell as “food safe unknown / vintage item—buyer discretion” unless you choose to test for lead/cadmium

• Condition: Good vintage condition overall; expected utensil marks, light surface wear/crazing possible, minor age-related wear to glaze/decoration, and may be mixed-piece wear levels. (One size group appears to have 11 instead of 12 pieces, so set is not fully matched in count.)
