Antique Mason's Ironstone Plate – Blue Willow Pattern, Circa 1820

About the Item

This exceptional ceramic plate is a fine example of early 19th-century English pottery, produced by the renowned Mason’s Ironstone China around 1820. Featuring the iconic Blue Willow pattern, this piece combines elegant design with the historical significance of one of England’s most celebrated ceramic manufacturers. Rendered in rich cobalt blue on a creamy white background, the plate displays the classic elements of the Blue Willow narrative — including Chinese-style pagodas, a willow tree, flying doves, a bridge with figures, a fenced garden, and a serene river with a boat. The central scene is framed by an intricate geometric and floral border, typical of Mason's interpretation of this enduring motif. Crafted from ironstone, a material introduced by Mason’s in the early 1800s for its superior strength and durability, this plate not only showcases remarkable artistry but also reflects the innovation of its time. The bold, detailed transferware design highlights the brand's reputation for both aesthetic appeal and functional resilience. A rare and highly collectible piece, this Mason’s plate is perfect for display or as part of a curated antique collection, offering a timeless glimpse into Georgian-era craftsmanship and style.
