What is Ironstone?
Ironstone (Terre de Fer) first appeared in France around 1770. Unlike porcelain, it is opaque and crafted from a blend of natural clay, sand, and minerals. Popular through the early 20th century, pieces like this were produced by renowned manufacturers such as Lunéville, Saint-Amand, and Moulin des Loups, often stamped to mark their authenticity.
