Johnson Bros "Old Britain Castles (Pink)"

Johnson Brothers Old Britain Castles Pink is part of the long-running Old Britain Castles series, first introduced in the 1930s. Like the blue version, it features romantic views of British castles and historic buildings, with different scenes appearing across different pieces in the service.

For customers looking to replace a dinner plate, add extra bowls, find cups and saucers, or build up a larger service, Old Britain Castles Pink is a very collectable discontinued Johnson Brothers pattern. Individual scenes can be important when matching or collecting, and pieces may show named views such as Dudley Castle, Belvoir Castle, Blarney Castle or other historic locations.

Old Britain Castles was produced in several colourways, including blue, pink and brown. The blue version is generally the most familiar, but the pink version has a strong following of its own, particularly with collectors who prefer softer pink, red or rose-toned transferware.

Because the range was made over a long period, variations in backstamp, colour depth, shape and scene placement can occur. As with all discontinued Johnson Brothers tableware, availability varies by piece, so please check our current stock if you are trying to complete, extend or carefully match an existing Old Britain Castles Pink service.
