This nineteenth-century Mason's Ironstone China meat platter is decorated in the Indian Grasshopper pattern in the Chinoiserie style. The piece is finished with a white glaze and hand-painted enamel decoration featuring a central cobalt blue peony, terracotta flowers, green foliage, and pink blooms, surrounded by a Chinoiserie border and canted corners. Additional visible details include impressed and transfer blue crown marks on the base and a juice well. The platter measures 53 cm wide by 43 cm deep. In a modern home, this item suits placement on a sideboard top or as a decorative display piece in an English Country House interior. It works well for serving food during formal gatherings or as a standalone collectible on a dining room sideboard.

FAQs

Masons Ironstone China was patented in 1813 by Charles James Mason in Staffordshire, England. It is a dense, hard-paste earthenware formulated with slag and flint to imitate imported Chinese porcelain at a lower cost, renowned for its strength and vibrant hand-enamelled patterns.

Antique ironstone is constructed from a mixture of clay, feldspar, and ground ironstone slag or flint, resulting in a durable, vitreous body. Decorative elements combine underglaze transfer-printed outlines with overglaze polychrome enamel decoration.

Authentic pieces often feature printed or impressed makers marks on the underside, such as Masons Patent Ironstone China. Early nineteenth-century examples display substantial weight, slightly blue-tinted glazes, canted or octagonal corners, and detailed hand-enamelled finishing over transfer lines.

Large ironstone platters can be displayed vertically on plate stands along a sideboard or kitchen dresser, mounted on a dining room feature wall using secure wire hangers, or laid flat as a central accent piece on a large dining table.

Clean gently by hand using warm water and a mild liquid detergent. Avoid dishwasher usage, abrasive scouring pads, soaking, or rapid thermal changes, as these can craze the glaze or wear away delicate overglaze enamels.
