Ironstone tableware emerged in France around 1770, made from natural clay, sand, and minerals. Unlike porcelain, ironstone is not translucent and can have a rough or smooth surface. The term peaked around 1900 with manufacturers like Faïenceries du Moulin des Loups, Saint-Amand, Lunéville, and others, producing sets stamped with 'Terre de fer' for authenticity.
Use: Ironstone dinnerware is generally dishwasher safe, but a delicate cycle is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain their surface. While durable, handle with care to prevent breakage.
Condition: Our products are generally in good rustic and vintage condition, but may exhibit minor flaws due to their age. Feel free to request additional photos or a video for a closer examination.
