Vintage Shopping test # 7

 Hi Everyone
Happy Saturday
Are you ready for another vintage shopping test?
One of these pieces is 
a rare Vintage White Ironstone bowl
worth $150 dollars
the other one is a
brand new bowl that I bought
for $1.95
They are very similar in size and both adorable
 This one has a plate attached and a creamy luster
 ♥
you can see how small this is
sitting next to a single pink rose bud

This one has a lions head on each side
Do you think you know 
which bowl is the 
~vintage white ironstone~
treasure

If you guessed the one with the plate attached
you are right!!!!
It was made by
J&G Meakin


This one is new from Crate and Barrel and you can
see the price tag only
$1.95

How did you do?
Do you see the creamy luster of the
vintage white ironstone compared to the brand new very white bowl

When shopping for
~Vintage White Ironstone~
be sure to
look for the creamy luster
and the stamp on the bottom too
Happy Shopping and

linking for Pink Saturday

    Pam, I spotted it. I have some white ironstone, so I've learned to see that difference. Have to say that each of these are nice pieces. ;-)
    Great post. ~ Sarah

    I love your pieces and I guessed right! Love your pretty flower too! Makes me want Spring even more. Not likely though, we are suppose to get another winter storm this weekend! I love being stuck in the house all cozy so no biggie!

    You have a lovely weekend!

    That's a nice old piece! I'm sure there's a limit to how much ironstone I can collect, but I'm not there yet. I got it right too!

    Hi Pam,

    I guessed right! I like that it comes with a plate. Very pretty! I am wondering...where do you look for iron stone ware? Antique stores, flea markets, thrift stores?

    All the best,
