Falling in Love with Ironstone (again)

This post has a bit of Coral, a bit of Art Deco and mostly a nice piece of Ironstone, all recent Estate Sale finds except for a small sauce boat with attached base my Sister gave me at her Daughter's wedding last June and the platter/jug from the thrift store.

Branch coral has very little to do with the ironstone except for its lovely white colour.

The small white lidded sauce dish attached to a base fits in with the smalls on my Welsh Dresser.

After finding this gravy boat with attached saucer I fell in love again with crazed and age stained white ironstone.

Gravy with attached under plate from P. Regout and Co., Maastricht. The crocheted table runners were found at the same estate sale. Most of the photo's were taken in my small portable lightbox.

Gravy handle from above has a look of a gingerbread man or Stay Puff marshmallow man (remember that movie?) when looking from above to the tab on the handle.

Maastricht Gravy and Underplate, both sides

I couldn't find any examples on-line showing this style of gravy with attached under plate so, in case others are searching, I am posting the Peter Regouts and Co. Maastricht mark on this gravy and under plate.

The dish and under plate are from the Faience Factory of Petrus (Peter) Regout and Co. of Maastricht Ceramics Company. 

Thrift store finds, I think the platter is ironstone, it has USA impressed on the back and has some sturdy weight. The stoneware pitcher just appealed to me, good weight, very smooth satin glaze.

There are a few Pinterest, (one is romantictable.nl different mark) boards that have a sampling of this pattern of antique white dishes. Searching on Pinterest did bring up several examples of similar ironstone.

Although I love vintage ironstone the gravy and under plate are not going to be part of my collection so into my booth it went.

Note: (not this gravy and under plate) the famous Dutch glass and pottery company P. Regout and Co., located in Maastricht, Netherlands was in business from 1834-1969. 

The Art Deco frame below was found at the same Estate Sale and a thank you to Graphics Fairy I added a printed sprig of lavender.

This has been a good season for finding interesting collectibles at Estate Sales in the countryside across the river.

Flashback photo from May 19, 2012. Ironstone jug pattern is Nancy.

Below is this weeks 'mystery item' which will be in my next post.

Thank you for visiting.
