I have a lovely small serving platter in this pattern and have done a little research.What I cannot find out is how to tell if my platter is an older one made in England or a reproduction made in China. How can I tell?
The backstamp has a crown, and the words “Johnson Bros” “Made In England” and “Old Britain Castles” (see image). The size is approx. 10.5” x 6.75″.

Thank you!

I did read in a couple places during my research that this line is now made in China since 2004 (not repo, just where it’s made now).
I feel my piece is a vintage one, made in England, just trying to verify it. I am hoping the newer ones don’t say “Made in England” if they are in fact made in China.
