These superb examples, of quality antique Ironstone by GL Ashworth Brothers, feature a beautiful oriental scene, in a rich cobalt blue hue.
In the Real Old Canton pattern, they are set against a gorgeous off-white background, edged with detailed banding. We absolutely adore them for their bold, almost 'flow blue' design and feel they are as functional now, as the day they were made.
Mix them through existing tableware, or use them as beautiful display pieces on a dresser in a farmhouse or country styled kitchen.

Buyers Guide:
It is very important to note, that all the pieces Roof + Roof sell are genuine pieces of age, each having a rich and varied past and are never sold as in new condition. With this in mind, minor blemishes, surface scratches, manufacturing flaws and a general sense of their age and history are naturally to be expected. We always try, to the best of our ability to honestly and clearly communicate an items condition, both in our description and photography, highlighting anything over and above what we perceive as ‘general age related wear and tear'. We kindly ask you look closely at all our photos, using the zoom facility, as these naturally form part of the item's description.
Please be aware that your monitor, tablet, or mobile device may emulate colours/tones differently 'on screen' to that of the actual physical item, all of which are photographed and shown to the best of our abilities. Any item/prop shown in our photography is used for styling purposes only. Prior to purchasing, if you would like further clarification on any item, then we are always happy to help in any way possible.
