Their father married the daughter of a master potter, Alfred Meakin. In 1883, Alfred and Frederick Johnson began production at the Charles Street Works that they had purchased at a bankruptcy sale in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent. At first, they specialized in the manufacture of durable earthenware which they called "White Granite". The success of this venture led to rapid expansion. In 1888, the Rev. Henry Johnson joined them, followed ten years later by a fourth brother, Robert Johnson. In 2003, the manufacturing of Johnson Brothers products in Britainceased and was transferred to China. According to the Waterford Wedgwood company, production in China cost 70% less than did production in Britain. The Eagle Pottery works were demolished in 2005. The mark on this Chinese-made product read "England 1883". In 2015, the Waterford Wedgwood group was acquired by the Finnish company Fiskars, which continued the Waterford and Wedgwood brands, but discontinued production of Johnson Brothers.
