About the Item

A striking Mason’s Ironstone dish featuring the richly detailed “Mandarin” pattern—a nod to chinoiserie aesthetics that were hugely popular in 19th-century Britain. This vintage edition, produced in the mid-1900s, retains the elegance and color of the original design but with a refined shape and slightly modernized glaze, making it perfect for collectors and decorators alike. Mid-century Mason’s Ironstone offers the charm of heritage design with the reliability of vintage ceramic production. The “Mandarin” pattern is known for its bold palette and intricately painted florals, and this piece showcases it beautifully. With its unique form and clear backstamp, it’s both a collectible and a functional decorative object. This dish catches the light beautifully. The hand-painted glaze has a vivid sheen, and the floral and foliage motifs are crisp and colorful—vibrant blues, greens, and ochres edged in warm gold. There’s a tactile charm to the ironstone body, which is thick, smooth, and satisfying to hold. Mason’s, established in the early 19th century in Staffordshire, England, became famous for its durable and elegant ironstone china. The “Mandarin” pattern was originally introduced in the early 1800s and reissued mid-century due to its enduring popularity. This piece bears the iconic Mason’s backstamp with crown and banner, placing it around the 1940s–1960s—a time when the brand was celebrating its heritage with modern precision. Made from patented ironstone ceramic, this dish bridges English Regency-inspired design with 20th-century craftsmanship. It’s ideal for those who appreciate chinoiserie influences, bold patterning, and timeless tableware that tells a story.
