The Johnson Brothers—Alfred, Frederick, Henry and Robert—were grandsons of the famous Meakin lineage. Alfred and Frederick began production at the Charles Street works, Hanley, Stoke on Trent in 1883. In 1888, Henry joined them. In addition to manufacturing well-potted white ware, they began producing under-glaze printed ware for which they became famous. Robert, moved to New York in the United States of America around 1896 to establish a presence in the U.S.tableware market. Johnson Brothers continued its growth in the tableware industry into and after World War I. World War II nearly halted production at Johnson Brothers factories but, the company managed to survive this hardship with sporadic shipments of product to the United States . War damage and the need for increased productivity dictated a major overhaul of the Johnson Brothers factories. Modern equipment and larger facilities were installed to improve the day-to-day production capability of the company. Various plants in England , Canada , and Australia were purchased for decorating and glazing and firing of pieces. In 1968, to offer access to even larger markets, and to remain competitive, Johnson Brothers joined the Wedgwood Group.
