Mason's Ironstone pottery, which has a history dating back to the early 19th century, is renowned for its exceptional fusion of toughness and beauty. Mason pottery is still produced today, and knowledgeable collectors are still very interested in older pieces.
While working as an Asian porcelain importer, company founder Miles Mason became aware of the demand for ceramic designs and established his own ceramics business. Mason and his sons improved the recipe for ironstone china during the first decade of the 19th century, and it became a market revolution. It resembled period-appropriate elegant porcelain designs and was remarkably sophisticated while also being incredibly durable.
Mason's Ironstone became well-known throughout Europe and even America, and it is still so among collectors today. Mason's Ironstone offers enticing ceramics, from the Mason's fruit basket to the elegant dinnerware.
