During and post-Second World War, the British government introduced regulations regarding the prices that could be charged for decorated pottery. Manufacturers were obliged to add a letter or letters to their backstamps to indicate the regulation group in which they had been placed. For Johnson it was the single letter B from 1942-45 and BY from 1945-52. 
Johnson Brothers (Grandsons of the great Meakin Family) was a British tableware manufacturer and exporter that was noted for its early introduction of "semi-porcelain" tableware. It was among the most successful Staffordshire potteries which produced tableware, much of it exported to the United States, from the 1890s through the 1960s.
