Inhaltsangabe

The new second edition of the "Johnson Brothers Dinnerware Pattern Directory & Price Guide" replaces the original text of the same title. The new edition is virtually twice the size of the first edition with an increase in both the number of patterns and the text. It is again soft cover with a special more durable binding.

Altogether, over twenty years of collecting and research, both in the United States and in England, have gone into the development of this book. In the pattern section over 360 patterns are identified and shown in full color. The book also contains a brief history of ceramics and the manufacturing techniques used by Johnson Brothers and other dinnerware manufacturers. An added chapter presents some historical background and motivation on the "Historic America: and "Old Britain Castles" patterns.

To date, this book is the most complete work on the Johnson Brothers Company and its wares. In all, there are over 560 color photographs and a number of informative sections detailing backstamps, styles, coloring, and the variety of pieces and items produced.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

– Mary Finegan began her involvement in the antique business thirty years ago in Atlanta, Georgia. It wasn’t until the mid-eighties that she began to specialize in Johnson Brothers Dinnerware.

In 1992, she and her husband moved lock, stock and barrel, (and thousands of dishes) to Boone, North Carolina, where she continued to operate her Johnson Brothers Dinnerware Replacement Service for ten years. Today, because of increasing years and decreasing energy, she is phasing out the replacement service part of her business and will devote her time to the promotion and distribution of her book.
