I didn't know what the hub-bub was all about with Ironstone until I spotted this little beauty at the thrift store.
The flower detail and the crackly finish had me at "oh-loh" (who saw Megamind this past weekend like I did?)
She's got a few chips but I think that just adds to her character.
It's official, I've started my collection and for $3!

Beautiful first piece Heather...very pretty!
I don't know that I've heard of ironstone but I'm intrigued. This piece is beautiful. I have stoneware which I love.
What a beautiful treasure you found! I was hooked after my first piece too!!! It is so much fun to keep adding to your collection one piece at a time :o)

It is beautiful. I will keep my eyes peeled for you. We have a great thrift store in Souderton!
Nice first piece for your collection....you only two more to call it a collection. Trish
That is a beautiful piece! I have not heard of Ironstone but I think a trip to the thrift store is on order. What year was that made in?

Uh-oh. You could get addicted to this stuff once you start. Great start though. It's just beautiful. I have a weakness for pitchers. I probably have 12-15 in all sizes.
What an adorable little pitcher!
I hope you can find many more pieces for a similar price. This beautiful.
Very nice start!
Very beautiful!
Stoneware does have a nice solid feel to it. You got yourself a pretty piece.
This is a lovely little find!
delicate items.
thanks for sharing.
I've never heard of Ironstone before. Is it like a type of ceramic? Either way, I think that is quite a find you have! It's beautiful and very vintage looking :)
I too know nothing about ironstone but I think your find is beautiful and 3 bucks...score!
I love ironstone. I had a whole set of it when I got married a century ago, and gave it away.
It would be antique now! LOL..
I need to go browse a few antique shops and see if I can find some for my pantry...
Ironstone is a great collectible, and you have started yours with an Incredible Find! Good luck on your Ironstone Hunt!
Hi Heather!
Thanks for linking this week to Alphabe-Thursday!
I can picture this adorable vase crammed full of fat pink roses!
Just lovely.
I'm glad you got bitten by such a wonderful 'bug'!
Thanks for linking. I love your treasure!
A+
Great ironstone piece! I love it too and started my collections with a white pitcher at an auction.
