Antique Johnson Bros “PAREEK” Oval Serving Platter | c.1920s

Product Description:

An elegant antique oval serving platter by Johnson Bros, made in England and marked with their distinctive “PAREEK” backstamp. This piece likely dates from the 1920s, and features a soft floral design with scrollwork in turquoise and subtle gilded like details — a charming example of early 20th-century British earthenware.

Johnson Brothers was established in 1883 in Stoke-on-Trent, and became internationally known for producing tableware that combined the look of fine china with the practicality of everyday ceramics. Their designs were exported across the world and remain loved by collectors for their timeless appeal.

The “PAREEK” mark was used across various decorative styles, and this particular version is less commonly seen — its refined, European-inspired design reflects a quieter elegance compared to the more vibrant patterns sometimes associated with the name.

This plate is perfect for serving small bites, or simply displayed as a decorative piece on a sideboard or dresser.
