Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

These 19th-century Victorian Masons ironstone sauce tureens comprise a matching pair of ceramic serving vessels with matching lids, each shaped in an oblong form complete with scroll handles, bud finials, and a glazed finish. The exterior surfaces display a polychrome floral pattern set against a crisp white ground, framed by striking cobalt blue borders enriched with gold leaf accents. These traditional tablewares measure 12 cm high, 20 cm wide, and 15 cm deep, maintaining the compact proportions typical of nineteenth-century dining accessories. Today, they suit placement on a dining room sideboard top or within a display cabinet, serving both a decorative and practical function for intimate home dining or period table settings. Their rich colour palette and classic styling integrate naturally into traditional English country house interiors.

FAQs

Masons Ironstone is a heavy, durable vitreous earthenware patented by Charles James Mason in Staffordshire, England, in 1813. It was created to mimic imported Chinese porcelain at a lower cost, often featuring hand-coloured transfer designs influenced by Asian patterns.

Victorian ironstone was produced by combining slag, flint, Cornwall stone, and clay to create a dense body that resists chipping. Patterns were often transfer-printed onto the body before receiving additional hand-painted enamel details and gilt highlights prior to final firing.

Authentic pieces usually bear impressed or printed maker marks on the underside, such as Masons Patent Ironstone China. They are characterized by substantial weight, a smooth bluish-white or ivory glaze, and intricate Imari-inspired enamel decorations.

Ironstone tureens are frequently used as decorative accents on dining sideboards, inside glazed cabinets, or on kitchen shelving. They add historical texture and colour to traditional, rustic, or modern country interior schemes.

Gilded ironstone should be washed gently by hand using warm water and mild soap, avoiding abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals. Items with delicate hand-painted enamels or gilding should never be cleaned in a dishwasher.
