The firm became known for durable \"White Granite\" earthenware and later a semi-porcelain body that combined the look of fine china with everyday sturdiness, which made Johnson Bros a favorite import across America for its affordability and durability. This set carries the Windsor Ware backstamp used on the Dover pattern, produced from 1960 to 1965 in a handful of colorways, with mulberry among the least commonly found today. Each plate is marked on the back as \"A Genuine Hand Engraving, Windsorware, Johnson Bros England,\" noting the under-glaze printing that made the pattern resistant to fading from acid and detergent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse our shop for more vintage Johnson Bros china to round out your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johnson Bros","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43279755673809,"sku":"C642","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/1733\/8577\/files\/IMG_8772_229a05c7-86c3-465d-9b33-739d0d798acb.jpg?v=1788364242","url":"https:\/\/www.antigotrunk.com\/products\/dessert-salad-plates-johnson-bros-dover-mulberry-floral-set-of-10-england-vintage-1960","provider":"Antigo Trunk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
