Editorial Review:
Product Description:
The new second edition of the "Johnson Brothers Dinnerware Pattern Directory & Price Guide" replaces the original text of the same title. The new edition is virtually twice the size of the first edition with an increase in both the number of patterns and the text. It is again soft cover with a special more durable binding.
Altogether, over twenty years of collecting and research, both in the United States and in England, have gone into the development of this book. In the pattern section over 360 patterns are identified and shown in full color. The book also contains a brief history of ceramics and the manufacturing techniques used by Johnson Brothers and other dinnerware manufacturers. An added chapter presents some historical background and motivation on the "Historic America: and "Old Britain Castles" patterns.
To date, this book is the most complete work on the Johnson Brothers Company and its wares. In all, there are over 560 color photographs and a number of informative sections detailing backstamps, styles, coloring, and the variety of pieces and items produced.

- Johnson Brothers Dinnerware: Pattern Directory and Price GuideI was especially interested in the different backstamps of the Heritage Hall pattern, I didn't find them. I was very disappointed in the absence of Heritage Hall pieces. I returned the book.

- The best got betterAn expanded version of Mary Finegana's definitive reference on Johnson Brothers Dinnerware. Her new edition has a larger page format, more total pages, more total patterns, new illustrations, additional supplementary material, an updated 2003 price guide and guidance on how to keep the price guide current. Very highly recommended.
Rating:
- The Inside StoryThis book presents an academic approach to the subject of ceramic ware produced by Johnson Brothers during their existence as an independant company. It does not convey the romance that the antique collect looks for. I feel that Mary Finegan lost an opportunity whilst visiting the U.K. to talk to the very person that could have given her that insight. William (Bill) Norbury worked for Johnson Bros. for 50 yrs. He had that insight as designer and Master engrave and was still alive during her visit. ... Read More
