Bring a layer of historic charm to your serveware collection with one of our Antique Ironstone Tureens. Dating back to the late 19th-century, these elegant vessels were crafted in England and Belgium from ironstone a relatively new type of stoneware at the time that was used as a delicate, durable and more affordable alternative to porcelain. Each one is coated with a glossy ivory glaze and paired with small fixed handles, a domed lid topped with a knob or handle and a matching ladle.
