"This super cool Johnsons Brothers art deco creamer jug is classic art deco style. Great shape, sophisticated, restrained colours, subtle silver-resist banded decoration and so very 'contemporary'. If you appreciate deco design then just look at the pictures for this and enjoy. The globular body, stepped handle and pointy-pinched spout are a triumph of shape and form. Just great mate!" Antiques Expert Hamilton Bear.

References: The potting quality of Johnson Brothers art deco period production ranks among the very best. The clear cut lines and complimentary restrained decoration were highly thought of in design circles during the 1920s and 1930s. With Johnson Brothers art deco less is definitely more. The Studio (1936) critical review of ceramics production recognised the modernist designs of Johnson Brothers for high artistic values and principles in the machine-age: "their aim is to produce earthenware bodies of fine texture and colour... to encourage decoration in printing, lithography and stamping which will show a real appreciation of these more mechanised techniques and enable the artist to produce honest work... not the 'mass production' travesties of hand-painting to which one is accustomed." The renown ceramic artist designer Gordon Forsyth was also a great fan, praising Johnson Brothers as an "outstanding example of excellent cheap production."

Dimensions: width 115 mm max. height 63 mm max.

Marks: to base as illustrated below. "Victorian" may be the shape range. Difficult to imagine a more inappropriate title for a piece like this.

Condition: Excellent condition for display with good fresh looking decoration. There are no chips, cracks, hairlines, staining or restoration. Minute specs of wear to silver resist bands around rim/spout of jug. Very difficult to spot without a magnifying glass. It does not spoil the display-attractiveness of this piece at all.
