Set of 4 Johnson Brothers “Marlow” Cream Soup Bowls with Matching Saucers – Set of 4 Floral Duos
This charming set of four double-handled cream soup bowls with matching saucers was produced by Johnson Brothers of England in their “Marlow” pattern. Each piece is decorated with vivid multicolor floral sprays—pinks, blues, yellows, and reds—encircled by a garland border and gilt trim. The set captures the timeless appeal of mid-century Old Staffordshire earthenware, known for its durable body and hand-finished detailing. These pieces coordinate beautifully with other floral English china and add a refined touch to any afternoon tea or formal table setting.
