These are a very unusual and rare but also so charming as they could go in a modern setting , a period setting and basically in any room

Made most probably by Minton , These are made up of 4 pieces each, The cooler body , the liner , the lid with a top lid . So the ice would have gone in the main body , the ice cream in the liner a, then ice again inside the lid ..covered by the top lid .

These are picked out in gold , the handles have the charming oak leaves and acorns in gold .

There are a few small stress cracks on the lids ..probably from use and the small lid being placed roughly on top , I have not restored these as they are just small hairlines

FAQs

Ironstone china is a type of vitrified pottery patented in the United Kingdom in the early 19th century as a durable, mass-producible alternative to fine porcelain.

Ironstone is composed of a mixture of ball clay, china clay, feldspar, and a small amount of slag iron or flint, fired at high temperatures to achieve exceptional density and strength.

Authentic pieces often feature makers stamps or registry marks on the base, heavier relative weight, minor firing imperfections, and appropriate age-related crazing in the glaze.

These decorative items can be displayed as statement centrepieces on dining tables, styled on open shelving, or used to hold dried botanicals to bridge traditional and modern aesthetics.

Antique ceramics should be hand washed using mild dish soap and warm water, avoiding harsh abrasives, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged soaking to protect surface gilding and historical glaze.
