Ironstone porcelain, translated as 'iron stone', is a type of pottery first made in the United Kingdom in the early 19th century by potters in Staffordshire, who were seeking to produce a large quantity of quality porcelain for the then very demanding market.
These objects were renowned for their strength (hence the word 'iron') and above all this material made it possible to produce pieces of impressive dimensions for the time.
The potter Charles Mason seems to be at the origin of the development of the ironstone, he in any case deposited the patent in 1813.  This piece has an attribution mark,
