About the Item

PRESENTING A LOVELY Set of 5 Masons Ironstone Mandalay Pieces. Early 20th Century, circa 1920. Made in England. The Set consists of:- 1. Pretty Early 20th Century 2 handled Scent Urn or Pot Pourri Jar with domed lid or cover. Fully marked. 2. A good sized Creamer. Fully Marked. 3. A pair of matching Square Bon Bon Dishes. Fully marked. 4. A Candlestick. Fully marked. Hand-painted with Floral design with cobalt blue, deep oranges, green, yellow and magentas with gilded edgings. Mason’s Ironstone was made by the English pottery of Charles J. Mason after 1813. Mason, of Lane Delph, was given a patent for this improved earthenware. Some experts believe the name ironstone came from the slag, but others think it came from the fact that the ware was as hard as iron. It was usually called Mason’s Patent Ironstone China. It resisted chipping and breaking so it became popular for dinnerwares and other table service dishes. Vases and other decorative pieces were also made. The ironstone was decorated with orange, blue, gold, and other colors, often in Japanese inspired designs. Mason’s had financial difficulties, but the molds and the name Mason were used by many owners through the years, including Francis Morley, Taylor Ashworth, George L. Ashworth, and John Shaw. Mason’s joined the Wedgwood group in 1973 and the name is still found on dinnerwares. The Lid of the Pot Pourri Jar has a gilded Foo Dog as a finial top and also has perforations to allow scent escape. All in excellent condition, save one professional repair to the rim of the candlestick. Provenance: Bought at an Estate Sale in Ireland. Dimensions: Pot Pourri Jar: 9 inches High (with Lid), 6.25 inches High (without Lid) and 4.75 inches Wide and 3 inches deep Bon Bon Dishes: Each is 4.25 inches x 4.25 inches Candlestick: 6.5 inches High and 3.5 inches diameter on base Creamer: 5 inches High x 5 inches wide

Six Piece "Mason's Ironstone" Toiletry Set, English, circa 1835
By Mason's Ironstone
Located in Incline Village, NV
Outstanding and rare early 19th century Mason's Ironstone (6) piece set consisting of toilet necessities as follows: Large oversized highly decorated pitcher and bowl for storing water and wash basin Pair of chamber pots for evening needs Similarly decorated toothbrush holder, large enough for multiple users Soap dish with removable strainer dish The fact that this rare ensemble has survived intact with no damage for nearly two hundred years is remarkable. It would have been an item owned and cherished by the aristocracy. and enjoyed as an art form because of it's high quality manufacture, in addition to the elaborate and detailed decoration. Also of note is the 8 sided octagonal form of each of the six items (see images). Please observe the elaborate serpent or snake formed handles to the large pitcher and both of the chamber pots (see images). Also worth mentioning is the attention the interior of the bowl receives, with as much decoration applied as the exterior (see image). The interior upper perimeters of all of the items receive the same amount of attention. The pitcher and bowl combination is larger than most that were manufactured during that period, (16" diameter) made possible by the strength of the ironstone. The Mason's mark underneath the items indicates a 1830s manufacture, with the "Mason's Patent Ironstone China" above and beneath the crown in blue. The ironstone process was patented by Charles Mason...
