A fine example of an early 19th century Masons Ironstone Cider Mug (Tankard), circa.1820-1830. Decorated in a typical "Masons Japan Palette", approx. 4.5 ins tall, 5 ins diameter. In very good condition and, although there is very slight ‘flecking’ (arguably desirable), this beautiful mug has never undergone any form of restoration. Viewing visits welcomed (please contact me). Buyer please collects or pays for delivery. Many thanks for viewing!Mason Ironstone (for interest) ...Founded in seventeen hundred and ninety six by Miles Mason, the Ironstone China factory soon became famous for its oriental based designs on both tableware and giftware. Using cobalt blue, deep green and iron red enamel paints the Masons Ironstone china designs are hand painted on to each piece before glazing. Each piece of Ironstone china is then finished by hand, using techniques first used in the early eighteen hundreds. Today Masons Ironstone is part of the Wedgwood group.
