Johnson Bros [Australia] was a division of Johnson Brothers England- at the time one of the largest domestic pottery producers in the world

An Australian subsidiary of the English company Johnson Brothers was established in 1947 in Leichhardt, Sydney, and from 1958 onwards the Johnson of Australia trademark was used. Production ceased in 1968 when the company went into partnership with the Wedgwood Group

Johnson Brothers is a pottery known for introducing early semi-porcelain tableware. Founded by Frederick and Alfred Johnson way back in 1883, the brothers were actually the grandsons of renowned English potter, Alfred Meakin, which no doubt helped to stir up interest in their new pottery venture
