Johnson Bros was established in 1883 in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, England by two sons of Robert Johnson, named Frederick and Alfred.  They manufactured Earthenware products, which they called "White Granite", (aka Semi-Porcelain). In 1888, they were joined by the older brother Henry, shortly after they started producing 'under-glaze' printed ware, better known as transferware, which people loved, and made them very famous.  In the 1890's they expanded to North America, then Germany.  By the end of the 1920's the grandsons of the founders had entered the business and were running the company.  Fast forward to 1968, they joined the Wedgwood Group in order to remain competitive and reduce costs.   In 2003, Johnson Brothers products were no longer made in Britain, the majority of the manufacturing moved to China, (marked England 1883).  Unfortunately, after the Wedgwood Group was acquired by Fiskars in 2015, the production of Johnson Brothers was discontinued.
