Antique Johnson Brothers Clayton Flow Blue 7 Salad Dessert Plates Set of 10

  

This is a beautiful antique set of ten (10) flow blue salad or dessert plates manufactured by Johnson Brothers of England in the classic "Clayton" pattern, which carries a patented design date of October 21, 1902. Each plate measures approximately 7 inches in diameter and showcases a stunning Edwardian floral aesthetic, featuring deep cobalt blue blossoms and delicate leafy sprays scattered beautifully across a stark white semi-porcelain body. True to authentic antique flow blue transferware, the cobalt pigment displays a rich, ethereal bleed into the surrounding glaze, giving the impressionistic floral design a gorgeous watercolor effect.

The plates are defined by their elegant, gently ruffled scalloped outer rims, which are complemented further by a crisp, physically embossed white scrollwork border molded directly into the ceramic. The underside of each plate features the crisp, printed underglaze blue crown backstamp specifying the pattern name, maker, and patent date, alongside vintage impressed maker numerals. This cohesive, matching 10-piece lot serves as an exceptional addition to any existing flow blue collection or a striking statement set for a historic holiday table display.
