Vintage Johnson Brothers “Game Birds” — A Five-Piece English Sporting Art Collection

A beautiful opportunity to create an instant vintage sporting-art display.

Bring the timeless character of the English countryside into your home with this five-piece vintage Johnson Brothers “Game Birds” collection, featuring a large oval pheasant platter accompanied by four beautifully illustrated game-bird pieces.

Produced in England from 1953–1976, the Game Birds pattern is especially admired for its beautifully detailed transferware illustrations. The designs were derived from hand-engraved plates originally created by artist Cyril Gorainoff, giving these pieces the distinctive detail and character associated with traditional sporting art.

MORE THAN TABLEWARE — A DECORATIVE STATEMENT

The real beauty of this collection is how naturally the five pieces come together as a ready-made wall display.

The substantial pheasant platter makes an impressive centerpiece, while the four coordinating pieces create a surrounding gallery featuring pheasant, partridge and ruffed grouse.

Imagine this collection in:

• A traditional hunting lodge

• Rustic Americana décor

• A country estate or farmhouse

• Study, library or home office

• Cabin or lodge-inspired interiors

• A collector’s sporting-art wall

You don’t have to spend years searching for coordinating pieces—the five-piece grouping is already assembled and ready to become a statement display.

🍂 PERFECT FOR FALL DECORATING

There is something wonderfully timeless about game-bird artwork in autumn. Rich English transferware, pheasant and grouse imagery, warm wood and country décor naturally complement the colors and atmosphere of the season.

Whether you’re decorating for fall or creating a permanent country/sporting display, these pieces offer character that new reproductions simply can’t duplicate.

THE COLLECTION INCLUDES 5 pieces total:

* 1 large oval pheasant platter

* 2 Ruffed Grouse

* 1 Partridge

* 1 Pheasant

***CONDITION -SOLD AS IS-PLEASE READ***

The large Platter has a small chip on underside.

Two of the Plates have chips along the underside/back edge One of the Plates appears to have a hairline crack on back.

FULL DISCLOSURE- All are shown clearly in the detailed condition photographs.

Importantly, the beautifully illustrated front display surfaces remain exceptionally attractive and present beautifully when displayed.

It is my understanding these were used for display only which is why the illustrated birds are still crisp and no wear normally associated with use as dinnerware noted.

Perhaps, plate hangers and inappropriate storage caused the condition issues.

NOTE:

Because of the condition issues, this collection is offered and recommended as decorative display and collecting rather than service-ware.

Please review all photographs carefully, including the close-ups of the condition and backstamps.

❤️ A ONE-AND-DONE DECORATING OPPORTUNITY

What makes this collection particularly appealing is the complete visual composition.

You’re not purchasing five unrelated vintage pieces—you are getting a coordinated group that can immediately create a distinctive piece of English country sporting décor.

Once this collection is gone, finding these exact five pieces together again would be a difficult task.

For the collector, decorator or lover of traditional country style, this is an opportunity to bring home a little piece of mid-century English sporting artistry—with a lifetime of decorative possibilities still ahead of it.
