This is all I have in this pattern from JOHNSON BROTHERS

The company's name derives from the names of the company's founders. The four original 'Johnson Brothers' were Alfred, Frederik, Henry and Robert. Their father married the daughter of a master potter, Alfred Meakin. In 1883 Alfred and Frederick Johnson began production at a defunct pottery known as the Charles Street Works they had purchased at a bankruptcy sale in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent.

In 2003, the manufacturing of Johnson Brothers products in Britain ceased, and was transferred to China. According to the Waterford Wedgwood company, production in China cost 70% less than did production in Britain. The closure of British production facilities eliminated around 1,000 British jobs, contributing to the rising unemployment in Britain's old pottery-making centre.[2] The Eagle Pottery works were demolished in 2005. The mark on this China made product reads "England 1883". This mark is confusing many inexperienced buyers, especially when buying on-line.

Is this a gift? I can send it directly to the recipient, and include a gift card.

If you are in Hawaii or Alaska, please send me a message for a shipping price.

I pack everything extremely well. I use recycled packing materials whenever possible.
If you would like postal insurance, please ask for that to be included order before you purchase, otherwise I typically ship by standard ground transportation via usps.

Just a little FYI, I almost always ship within 24 hours of purchase, but I say it might take 3-5 days, that is just in case there is a weekend involved, as I do not go to the post office on weekends. So if you make a purchase on a Friday , yes, it will be Monday before I ship it. Thank you for understanding
