One of the dishes that I would one day like to collect is white ironstone. Jeff and I were out antiquing a couple of months ago, and I stumbled upon this white ironstone child's tea set. I had to have it to display in the kid's room.
I think it looks really good on the whitewashed table.
It was missing the creamer. I hope one day to be able to find one.
It isn't in the best shape. It is discolored and has some glazing cracks, but I think that adds to its charm.
I wonder how many kids have played with it over the years.
So, what do you think?
Thank you for visiting Yesterday Once More. As Always, I appreciate you stopping by and I hope that you will come back as often as you can. Always remember, "We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope."
All My Best,
~Dan~

I think that is just the sweetest little set, you were lucky to find so many pieces together. Love it, and it looks great on the whitewashed table..;j
That is just thee MOST adorable thing ever!! Can't wait till my kids move out and I can have a guest bedroom to do up LOL Nahh..just kidding?!
Oh Dan I love the tea set and the table and chairs too! I'd love to collect ironstone for children! My first grandaughter is coming this March and I have already started looking around for a nice tea set for her. I bought one 17 years ago, but my daughter only had boys but I gave up and I sold it. Now she is finally getting a girl and I get to play with girly stuff again. Yay! ~Ames

Dan~They are just adorable. I think with the crazing,chips and discoloration is what makes them so perfect.
Adorable! Love how you have it displayed on the childrens table.

So pretty! I love it. I will keep an eye out for a creamer for you at our antique malls. :) I think I have seen those sets before.

It looks adorable. I also have a weakness for dishes, but I'm sure you have me beat. I collect white ironstone, pewter, and yellow ware. I have recently started collecting bennington pottery and it's my new sickness.

Very nice! I forgot about these and you forgot to mention me!!! Just kidding :)
The children's ironstone is so cute, Dan. Your nieces and nephews have such a cozy room to play in.
How adorable! To be honest, I prefer the ironstone with discoloration and crazing. :)
