Lot #45: White Ironstone Tea Set

A three-piece white ironstone tea set consisting of a teapot, lidded sugar bowl, and creamer. Ironstone china, often simply called ironstone, is a type of pottery first produced in the United Kingdom in the early 19th century. It was developed as a more durable, opaque, and less expensive alternative to porcelain. Its strength made it highly popular for everyday use and it was extensively produced by numerous potteries, becoming a staple in homes across Europe and America throughout the Victorian era and beyond. Many patterns were plain white, allowing for versatile use and timeless appeal. The set appears to be in excellent condition with no visible chips, cracks, or significant discoloration. The glaze is intact, indicating careful handling over time. Pickup category timeslot {A}
