Modern Ironstone Serving Trays
Modern Ironstone Serving Trays
Ironstone pieces have long been one of my true loves for serving festive or family meals. I bought my first set of Johnson Brothers Regency white teacups and saucers as a teenager, and I still scour thrift, antique, and junk markets looking for pieces to add to my cupboards. I’m delighted to have finally produced my own take on this classic. Here in two sizes, small 8x5 pointed oval and 9x6 rounded oblong, with an option of an add-on silver plate spreader.
I use fine white stoneware and porcelain clays and use both vintage serving pieces and contemporary molds to form these dishes out of slabs of clay. Using our fingers, we scallop the slab before it goes into (or over) its mold. Each piece is smoothed by hand and finished in satin or gloss food safe white glaze.
All of my work is meant to be used. It is microwave safe (one minute at a time, please), top-rack dishwasher safe, and oven safe (take care under broil! Ceramic pieces aren’t fond of the broiler).
