Antique English Georgian Real Ironstone China Vegetable Tureen and Cover

19th century
Description

A fine and colourful Early 19th Century Antique English Georgian Ironstone Tureen and Cover, boldly decorated in an Imari palette with a basket-like vase of peonies, the underside of the tureen impress marked REAL IRONSTONE CHINA together with the letter F. Masons introduced their Patent Ironstone China in 1813, but, according to Geoffrey Godden, { Mason's China and the Ironstone Wares ~ A.C.C. Woodbridge 1980 }, within a few years, the description "Ironstone China" was taken up by other manufacturers, thus, while one might hazard a guess, it is not possible to identify the Maker of this piece with certainty.

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.
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.
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.

Patented in England during the early nineteenth century by Charles Mason, Real Ironstone China is a vitreous earthenware formulated with slag and flint to create a heavy, highly durable alternative to imported porcelain.

These pieces were press-moulded from dense clay bodies, fired at high temperatures, and typically decorated using underglaze transfer printing combined with hand-applied overglaze enamels and gilding.

Authentic period pieces exhibit substantial physical weight, a faint bluish or greyish cast in the clear glaze, visible hand-enamelled brushwork, and characteristic impressed or printed backmarks.

An antique tureen serves as a focal display piece on a dining table, kitchen island, or sideboard, and can be styled individually or alongside contemporary tableware for a curated look.

Clean gently by hand using warm water and a mild non-abrasive detergent, avoiding exposure to dishwashers, microwaves, and sudden thermal changes to protect delicate enamels and gilding.
