A large dinner service by Mason's, England, early 20th century
A Mason's ironstone china Imari blossoming tree pattern dinner service. Wonderful rich colours, this dinner service dates to the early part of the 20th century.
Mason’s was one of the most famous ironstone manufacturers of the time. Ironstone was patented by the British potter Charles James Mason in 1813. His father, Miles Mason (1752–1822) married the daughter of Richard Farrar, who had a business selling imported Oriental porcelain in London. Subsequently Mason continued this business, but after the East India Company ceased the bulk importation of Oriental porcelain in 1791 he began to manufacture his own wares. This set is a superb example of his early work.
