Uncover a piece of history with this exquisite antique ironstone china plate, featuring a distinct maker's mark that speaks to its storied past.
The base of the plate clearly displays the stamp: "IRONSTONE CHINA" above a scrolled banner that reads "PHILLIPS" and the location, "LONGPORT." This mark is indicative of fine, durable earthenware produced in the Longport area, a notable center of pottery in Staffordshire, England, during the 19th century. The emblem of the eagle perched atop the banner further enhances the plate's classic, collectible appeal.
Crafted from ironstone, this piece possesses a desirable heft and resilience, even as its age shows in the graceful patina and charming, minor chips consistent with authentic antique ware. The plate’s beautiful off-white or light aqua hue makes it a sophisticated base for layering into modern tablescapes or displaying as a standalone decorative piece.
Whether you're a passionate collector of British ceramics or seeking a unique piece of enduring elegance, this Phillips Longport Ironstone China plate is a true heirloom to cherish.
