Vintage Johnson Brothers Old Britain Castle Pitcher. Measures 6.5" in height. Excellent condition.
Presenting a timeless piece of English dinnerware, this is a beautiful vintage pitcher from the celebrated "Old Britain Castles" collection by Johnson Brothers. This piece is crafted in the beloved pink and white, or red and white, transferware style that has been cherished for generations. The pitcher stands 6.5 inches tall and is in excellent condition, showcasing its quality and careful keeping over the years.
The detailed visual on the pitcher depicts the historic "Ragland Castle in 1792," capturing its beautiful, romantic ruins surrounded by trees. An intricate floral and lace-like border adorns the scalloped rim, adding to its classic charm. This pitcher is not only a functional serving piece but also a stunning decorative object. Use it as an elegant water jug on the dining table, a milk pitcher for a special breakfast, or as a charming vase for a bouquet of fresh flowers.
The Old Britain Castles pattern was first introduced by Johnson Brothers in 1930. The intricate engravings, based on real-life British castles, were created by the designer Miss Elizabeth Fennell. This specific scene features Ragland Castle, located in Wales.
This piece would make a wonderful gift for a collector of English china, a fan of transferware, or for anyone looking to add a touch of classic country elegance to their home. It is perfectly suited for farmhouse, traditional, or cottage-style decor and looks lovely displayed on a kitchen shelf, hutch, or mantel.
This item is vintage, over 30 years old. While it appears to be in excellent condition, there may be minor imperfections that I missed.
