Henley in teal. Johnson Brothers' Henley pattern on a butter pat: a dense teal-blue stippled ground with roses, daisies and scrolling leaves reserved in white around the rim and a plain white well. The romantic floral border of the Edwardian dinner table in a colour you rarely see this small. | SPECS: Approx 3 to 3.25 in diameter (confirm), smooth round rim. Maker: Johnson Bros, Hanley, Staffordshire; this pat is unmarked on the base and is identified by pattern match to marked Henley pieces, est. c.1900-1920. Pattern: Henley, rose and daisy border on a stippled teal ground. | HISTORY: Henley was one of Johnson Brothers' full-ground floral borders for the American market, a Romantic Staffordshire descendant printed in a teal that sits between the common blue and the rarer green on the colour rarity ladder. Johnson Bros routinely left butter pats unmarked because there was no room on the base for the full crown mark, so an unmarked Henley pat is normal rather than suspicious. | CONDITIO
