Manufactured by Johnson Brothers of Hanley, Staffordshire, England, a respected British pottery manufacturer established in 1883. The company became well known for its durable earthenware and popular dinner services, with Carnival Ware introducing a playful selection of bold colours to everyday dining.

- Peacock Blue
- Peony Maroon (Only the small side plate is not included)
