Set of 11 Johnson Brothers Oval Fish Plates – Six Patterns
A charming and beautifully illustrated set of eleven Johnson Brothers oval fish plates, each showcasing one of six naturalistic aquatic patterns. Designed with gently rounded edges and detailed depictions of freshwater and marine life, this set brings a refined English Traditional, Country House, and Regency Style sensibility to any table or display. Soft greens, muted blues, warm sepias, and finely drawn botanicals give each plate the look of classic Victorian naturalist studies. Perfect for coastal dining rooms, lakeside retreats, and kitchen walls styled in a timeless, collected way.
Each plate measures 10.5” wide x 9.5” deep x 1” high, and the set includes the following six illustrated scenes:
Lobster & Shrimp Among Sea Grasses - 2 Plates
A striking green-black lobster anchors the design, surrounded by seaweed fronds and swimming shrimp. Fine detailing and subtle washes of color bring movement and depth.
Eel with Schooling Fish - 2 Plates
A graceful eel curves upward through a bed of seagrass while a trio of fish glides above. Soft teal and charcoal lines highlight the underwater motion.
John Dory & Companion Fish - 2 Plates
A large John Dory with its signature profile floats among long red-green sea plants, accompanied by a smaller fish. Beautiful tonal contrast and crisp botanical detailing define this pattern.
Trout & Small Perch - 2 Plates
A spotted trout swims above leafy underwater branches, rendered in muted blue-greens and warm neutrals. A second small perch adds scale and balance.
Red Perch Pair - 1 Plate
Two red-toned perch swim through soft botanical plumes with black berry-like clusters. This is the warmest and most colorful of the six patterns, offering rich gold and rose shading.
Bass & Small Minnow - 2 Plates
A textured bass swims above a detailed cluster of aquatic plants, accompanied by a delicate minnow. Earthy greens and soft blues give the scene a classic British sporting-art sensibility.
Please note, bamboo stand is not included.
