Originally created in 1928 from photographs and steel engravings, Old British Castles by Johnson Brothers has been continuously produced in England since 1930 and is one of the company's most cherished patterns. Capturing Britain's assortment of famous castles, each piece of china in the collection portrays a prominent palace or stronghold set upon an 18th Century landscape. Each scene is identified and dated, and showcases well-known castles such as Cambridge, Dunstable, Exeter, Kent, Stratford, Donnington, and Warwick. This set of four 8-1/2-inch rimmed bowls are the perfect size to serve soup, a pasta course, or a delicious dessert. A creamy background showcases the lovely design rendered in a cranberry pink, while a decorative floral border frames the prominent castle, which is the focal point of the pattern. Crafted from high quality ironstone, extremely durable earthenware, each piece can safely be placed in the microwave, dishwasher, and freezer. --Lea Werbel
