Set of 6 antique Snowhite Regency plates – Johnson Brothers – English ironstone ceramics

NON-NEGOTIABLE PRICE Order management by SELENCY These vintage Snowhite Regency plates signed by Johnson Brothers are a beautiful example of the great tradition of 20th-century English ceramics, tableware designed to be both elegant and durable, perfectly suited to the daily life of bourgeois and family interiors. The Johnson Brothers factory, founded in 1883 in Stoke-on-Trent, quickly established itself as one of the most renowned houses for its production of ironstone, a particularly dense and resilient vitrified ceramic developed to provide a sturdier alternative to traditional porcelain while maintaining a beautiful whiteness and refined finish. Unlike fine porcelain, which is more translucent and fragile, ironstone is a thick, robust, and heavy ceramic designed to withstand repeated use, large gatherings, and everyday meals, which explains its immense success in England from the late 19th century and especially throughout the 20th century. The Snowhite Regency model, identifiable by its luminous whiteness and elegant wavy edge inspired by Regency style, perfectly illustrates the desire to combine simplicity, elegance, and practicality, with a decorative shape that captures light without ever being excessive. Produced mainly in the second half of the 20th century, these plates were intended for well-kept yet lively tables, where one entertained, shared meals with family, and where the tableware needed to be beautiful yet reliable. Today, they naturally find their place in a kitchen or dining room, paired with antique or contemporary pieces, as their timeless white and delicate relief easily integrate into all interior styles, from the most classic to the most country chic. No cracks, no stains, and no missing pieces. Diameter of 23.5. NON-NEGOTIABLE PRICE.
