Origin & Maker

English Ironstone Tableware Ltd was founded in 1973 in Stoke-on-Trent, England, a region renowned for its rich history in pottery. The company specialized in producing durable ironstone ceramics, a type of stoneware known for its strength and weight. English Ironstone Tableware quickly gained popularity for its high-quality, affordable products, and became known for its production of transferware patterns, especially the iconic "Old Willow" design. This blue-and-white pattern, inspired by traditional Chinese motifs, became one of their most recognized and cherished designs.

Unlike fine porcelain, ironstone was created to be more durable and affordable, making it popular among both households and collectors. Throughout its history, English Ironstone Tableware preserved the craftsmanship and artistry associated with Staffordshire pottery, contributing to the lasting legacy of English ceramics in the 20th century. Today, pieces by the company are still valued by collectors, admired for their timeless design and functionality.
