How can you tell the age of ironstone?
1 Answer

To tell the age of ironstone, examine its backstamps. Although genuine ironstone usually does not have the year of production stamped on it, most makers add some type of identifying mark, such as a logo, name or style number. You can research the markings on your ironstone using trusted online resources and examine online catalogues to date it. Another approach is to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer examine your piece. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of ironstone.
