Johnson - Athena - Rarer Apple Blossom - Serving Dish Bowl

This superb Serving Bowl carries the long-retired pattern Apple Blossom, which is becoming harder to find.  The name Athena refers to the fluted body shape.  The top rim is decorated in a pale shade of blue-green.  Towards the bottom of the bowl is a silver gilt ring.   

Johnson Brothers, Hanley - one of the Staffordshire potteries - began production in 1883.         

Four grandsons of the Master potter, Alfred Meakin, were eventually involved in the company :  Alfred, Frederick, Henry and Robert.  The firm joined the Wedgwood group in 1968.
