* Old Staffordshire “Ningpo” by Johnson Brothers is a fabulous example of vintage china at its most romantic *
Information on the pattern is a bit scarce, but it would see it was from the 1930s.
Something to brighten that time of austerity, certainly.
The gorgeous detail begins on the rim of the plate, from the beaded edge to the exquisitely rendered flowing border
in a typically 1930s shade of minty-green. Delicate floral sprays cascade across a bone coloured background on the
shoulder of the plate, and spill into the white centre in exuberant profusion of deep yellows and vibrant oranges.
Such a luscious, yet restrained pattern. A true collector's find ! (pattern discontinued)
