"Paynsley" is a well-known and lovely pattern, produced by Mason's from as early on as the 1930s, following a late Victorian style. These dinner plates are superbly hand-painted in bold enamels on the green transfer pattern.

The pattern is now discontinued and sought after. The pottery mark puts these four bowls as being produced in the 1950s.

The plates are in excellent, near mint vintage condition, with hardly any sign of wear showing.

Origin & Maker

About Mason's
Mason's Ironstone, founded by Miles Mason in 1796 in Staffordshire, England, is a renowned British ceramics company celebrated for its high-quality earthenware. Initially, the company produced tableware imitating Chinese porcelain, but it gained significant recognition after developing a unique, durable ironstone china in 1813.

This ironstone, a blend of iron slag and clay, became a popular choice due to its strength and affordability, appealing to the middle class during the Industrial Revolution.

Over the years, Mason's became known for its richly decorated patterns, often inspired by Asian designs, such as the iconic "Fruit Basket" and "Blue Pheasant" motifs. The company continued to thrive throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, producing a wide range of tableware that remains highly collectible today. Each piece of Mason's Ironstone carries a legacy of craftsmanship and innovation, making it a prized addition to any collection of vintage and antique dinnerware.
