Ironstone tableware, which originated in France around 1770, is made from natural clay, sand, and minerals. Unlike porcelain, it’s opaque and may have a rough or smooth finish. The term became popular around 1900, with notable manufacturers like Faïenceries du Moulin des Loups and Saint-Amand stamping their pieces with 'Terre de Fer' for authenticity.
Use: Ironstone is generally dishwasher safe on a delicate cycle. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve its surface. Though durable, handle with care to prevent breakage.
Condition: Our pieces are typically in good rustic and vintage condition but may show minor flaws due to age. Request additional photos or a video for a closer look.
