Mandalay!

This morning, I was in the showroom and I walked past the most amazing display of table- and giftware.  "Mandalay" is an extraordinary pattern that has an oversized Oriental floral display that is accented with glittering gold trim.  The pattern is made in a variety of colors - my favorites being "Blue" and "Chartreuse."

Founded by Miles Mason in 1796, Mason's Ironstone has garnered a reputation for stunning beauty and incomparable durability.  Miles, with his three sons, experimented with various glazes and biscuit types to develop what is now known as "ironstone."  So durable was their discovery that it has been used to make fireplaces, tiles, and even garden seats.  Traditional body styles are further accented with rich colors like iron red, cobalt blue, and gold. 

In Mason Ironstone's own words, "[Mandalay] creates a strong presence in any room."  It amazes me to walk through our showroom and see the "Mandalay" collection which offers a variety of giftware, pllace setting, and serving pieces.  To view a history of the Mason's Ironstone Company, simply click here.  To browse and order serving and accessory pieces from this collection, click here.
