I love me some ironstone! I have no idea how it happened but it did. It probably happened by looking at others' collections arranged so grandly. Every auction, flea market, thrift store, and garage sales, I keep an eye out for ironstone. I seem to be drawn to soup tureens, casserole dishes, and pitchers. Funny thing is I do not cook anything nice enough to serve in my nicer pieces!
When I went to my usual weekly auction, I spied with my little eye some ironstone. I thought for sure some others would think it was just as fabulous as I did, but luck was on my side! Check out all of these pieces that I snagged for $10!
Take a look at the beautiful detail on the casserole dish.
I picked up these terrific tea cups, sugar caddy, and cute ironstone cow creamers.
A little closer shot of my cows.
Finally, I picked up this great ironstone platter for $1 at the flea market.
Needless to say, I felt like I hit the ironstone jackpot last week. I wonder if I will ever find that perfect hutch to display them in. A girl always has to have a dream, right?!

Hi Julie,
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about learning to love ironstone. I think I'm drawn to the restful white with the old charm. I'll have to start watching for it when I'm out thrifting.
