Found a couple boxes of ironstone

While downstairs sweeping dust and dusting dust I ran across a couple boxes of ironstone platters I had priced for the flea market last year and just couldn't let it go . I feel the same way this year so might as well wash the price tags off of it. I brought it upstairs and set my table pretending I am having company over and we are going to use the old ironstone.
                                                   

                           

                           
The tall pitcher and the tea pot are newer than the old ironstone. I bought them at a Marshall's store .    

                           
                                        
See that price tag hanging on the little covered compote well it is coming off.

                              

                           
I just love these large platters. I did use one once for my dinner plate.

                            
I have an old ladle sticking down in the new Marshall pitcher.

                           

                                                                                                                                                     
                           
Here is some of the markings on the bottom of the ironstone. I also collect pearl handled  silverware. I haven't got any forks. I always find knives so I buy them when they are reasonable priced.
