For the Love of Antique Ironstone


                                                                                  I have  collected white ironstone for  over 35 years. There's something about the honesty of it that I love so much. It's not fancy but it has it's own elegance.                                                                         

        



 Before brother past away about 14 years ago he found this large old handmade wardrobe that someone had made by hand in a shop his friend owned. It had been converted with shelves and he called me to come look at it. We bought it straight home just to display ironstone.

                                                                                


                                                                                  

I have bought just about every piece of ironstone I've ever come across. I've changed the  arrangement of the cupboard many times and the collection has grown into additional cupboards and tables and mantels. On occasion I will sell a few pieces and I even have a few pieces packed away in boxes.   



So in the next two weeks I'm going to go through the ironstone cupboard. Give it the good dusting that it could use and rearrange it for spring. Maybe add some bunnies and add a few pieces I haven't had time to display. There is joy to be found in staying at home.

Take care.

  1. I am not sure what I am more in love with....your incredible ironstone collection or that amazing old cupboard. Yes, there is something about the simple honesty of the ironstone that is unequivocally timeless. I have a few old creamers, but that's it. No place to display. And, yes, a bunny here or there will be delightful! ~Robin~

  4. So proud of your blog, I have been out of touch for a while with so much going on in my life and I was lost because of my illness but I'm stronger and I am here to tell you about a natural remedy that is guaranteed to make you wonder why your doctor didn't tell you about it. Then, on the other hand, it is pretty obvious why your doctor didn't, because that's not his job, is it? But, seriously, promise me you won't get too angry with your health practitioner, it's really not their fault. They can only practice what they're told to practice, right? When your health is at risk there's no time for Tom foolery, you've got to get down to the cause and nip it in the bud. So you've been suffering from painful gout attacks have you? Well, allow me to give you a new perspective on the solution to what plagues you I was once in your shoe until my college friend introduce me to Dr Itua herbal center which cure my hiv/herpes,Lymphedema, after drinking it for two weeks as instructed, Dr Itua is an africa herbal doctor who has natural power to cure all human illness diseases I believe Dr Itua so much because he help me cure my hiv/ herpes which has being my burden in life so I promised Dr Itua that I will testify about his work online after curing me and that is what I'm doing here so please if you are sick from those diseases do not hesitate to write Dr Itua Herbal Center On Email: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Or chat with him on his online store www.drituaherbalcenter.com
