Wood & Sons Ivory Ware Rose Table Ware




















Ivorine China, or Ivory Ware, is a semi-porcelain body commonly called ironstone, and although the fired body looks vitreous or glass-like it is a refined earthenware and not true porcelain.  Ironstone china was patented in 1813 by Charles Mason as a  cheaper and more durable alternative to porcelain that could be mass produced.  Wood & Sons began producing the Ivory Ware line in the 1930's and it was one of their two most popular lines along with Beryl Ware which had a green colored body.




















This vintage Wood and Sons Ivory Ware Rose cream pitcher and covered sugar dish was manufactured during the 30's to 40's.  It features a lovely brushed gold gadroon edge that has seen little wear.  This romantic and shabby chic set is free from cracks, chips, stains, or hazing.


















Asking - $25 set



In the same pattern is a set of  low soup bowls  7  7/8" and side/bread plates 6" that are also chip, stain, and crack free.  One of the bowls has a slight bit of hazing consistent with age.  Sold as a 4 piece set.























Asking - $30



Finally, we have a pair of matching cups with saucers which are chip, crack, stain, and haze free.


















Asking - $20
