Looking for some discontinued China that would make a wonderful lady very happy. Can anyone help?

Hello,
My mother is amazing, she is a fantastic mother and grandmother and friend and general all round lovely person and I am very lucky to have her. She has one plate from her childhood that she got when my grandmother passed away. She would absolutely love the whole set (or at least some more) and I would love to surprise her with it. If anyone has any lying about they would be happy to sell to me, or if anyone knows of any online or anything I’m hoping the collective knowledge of Mumsnet could help me: the China is from Johnson brothers and is code JB 459. I have attached a picture of it.
If anyone could help it would be so much appreciated. Thank you

Try here:

www.chinasearch.co.uk/

And I think there are others - put dinner service replacement into google.

Set up an eBay alert for a saved search so that if anyone lists any you'll get an email.

It is also worth flicking through all the Johnson Brothers listings regularly in case people haven't listed with the code.

I just checked and can't see any there now though I'm afraid. But have found china to match old sets there in the past

Is this a bit more of it OP?

Just did a quick eBay search for you, maybe you could set yourself an eBay search alert so you get notifications whenever someone lists some new Johnson brothers China? Also worth doing a search for 'floral china' or something without the Johnson Brothers name as the seller may not know who it is. Good luck!

Ebay is always selling used JB china. So I would set up an alert

Did you try facebook? Lots of people selling china on there lately. Our local charity shop had some too.

So delighted you found your tea set, OP!

My DM passed down to me an incomplete dinner service which had cost a lot of money at the time. Through setting up an EBay search with alerts I've managed to add to it, including some bargain items that would have been very pricey at the time.

If you want to locate more pieces I recommend you set up a few search alternatives as not all listings will be as detailed or specific. So something like "Johnson fern china" or "Johnson plant plate" might yield a wider range of results.

Fab, pleased you got it.

Looks a lovely set.

Hope your mum enjoys it.

Shookethtothecore · 13/11/2019 10:09

Thank you I’ll do that. Would be nice to get a teapot. She’s a very good baker, my children love having tea and cake with her and how they will have it on the set I used to have it with with my grandmother. I hope you all have lovely days as your very good karma for making a very deserving person as happy as this will make her x

I'm sure I just saw a teapot on EBay.

Shookethtothecore · 14/11/2019 14:22
