Handcolored in shades of spring green, pink, cherry, and chocolate, these shades blend nicely with all the colors of fall and look gorgeous when paired with other similar patterns for the Thanksgiving table. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs one of the most successful English potteries, in business from 1890-2015, Johnson Brothers, specialized in exporting to the American market and were exceptionally good at tapping into the American mindset. Unlike other English potteries that catered to English sensibilities, Johnson Brothers followed the buying trends and styles of American consumers. The cozy seasonality of the Harvest Time pattern was so appealing to shoppers when it debuted in 1953 in department stores and china shops across the country, that it became a popular choice for tableware stretching the entirety of the Autumn season from the first day of fall all the way through the Thanksgiving holiday. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtistic, colorful and beautifully designed, this pair, in addition to the detailed fruit pattern, also features a swirl design on both the cup and saucer. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e{SPECIAL FEATURES}\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Two matching sets \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Features apples, grapes, and leaves \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Artistic design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Stamped on back with the maker's mark and the colorful mark of the hand decorator \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e{CONDITION}\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn gorgeous vintage condition.
