J. Mason & Co. Mason's 'Ironstone' (sometimes referred to by the firm as 'granite china', quickly became fashionable and maintained its popularity despite competition from stone chinas introduced by Spode, Davenport and other manufacturers. Its strength made it particularly suitable for dinner services, jugs, and large ornamental wares, a high proportion of which were decorated with brightly coloured 'Japan' (Imari style) or other Oriental patterns. Unfortunately mass production sometimes resulted in poor workmanship and this must have contributed to Mason's downfall. A close look at this immense hall or alcove vase reveals that the enamelling was applied rather carelessly. Nevertheless it is an eye-catching and rare survivor of the nineteenth-century taste for large ostantatious ceramics. Stone china was more durable than creamware or pearlware and closer to Oriental porcelain in appearance, although not translucent. The first patent for such a body was taken out by John and William Turner in 1800. Another patent, for what became known as 'Ironstone China' was granted to Charles James Mason (1791-1856) in 1813. In that year he and his two brothers purchased the Fenton Stone Works, whjich is illustrated in the mark on this vase. Mason remained there until 1848 when he was declared bankrupt, sold the works, and moved to the Daisy Bank Pottery in Longton. He recovered sufficiently to exhibit at the Great Exhibition in 1851 and finally retired from business in 1853. reference term-120816 adlib-term-120816 b8c35cb6-f02f-34c9-9dda-b3120e12c749 19th Century, second quarter reference term-113600 adlib-term-113600 20f685d7-6d4b-3b6a-a704-68779b602e91 literal England England country Fenton a form of stone china reference term-120839 adlib-term-120839 66db6aee-8587-346d-ba0e-bbfb3e6e026e granite china Height cm 122 reference media-35469 adlib-media-35469 4d099393-13d4-3ed5-8495-64fab53fa2d8 jpeg aa/aa6/C_1280_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 516 1742582435476 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/mid_C_1280_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 717 width pixels 500 1742582435476 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/C_1280_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 516 1742582435476 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/preview_C_1280_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 359 width pixels 250 1742582435476 1 image 0 media image reference media-35470 adlib-media-35470 d34f41c0-2f49-3df1-93b6-0a3b7cf7becf jpeg aa/aa6/C_1280_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 518 1742582456880 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/mid_C_1280_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 714 width pixels 500 1742582456880 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/C_1280_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 518 1742582456880 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/preview_C_1280_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 357 width pixels 250 1742582456880 1 image 1 media image reference media-35471 adlib-media-35471 ed32f00d-fb6a-3ce6-b4fe-88514cc297c2 jpeg aa/aa6/C_1280_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 534 1742582415314 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/mid_C_1280_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 693 width pixels 500 1742582415314 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/C_1280_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 534 1742582415314 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/preview_C_1280_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 346 width pixels 250 1742582415314 1 image 2 media image reference media-35472 adlib-media-35472 e84ac6b1-ddca-3ecd-9bac-380e65ccb482 jpeg aa/aa6/C_1280_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 509 1742582419298 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/mid_C_1280_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 727 width pixels 500 1742582419298 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/C_1280_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 509 1742582419298 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/preview_C_1280_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 363 width pixels 250 1742582419298 1 image 3 media image reference media-35473 adlib-media-35473 72ea65bc-9e04-3721-83f3-6a171ac312f7 jpeg aa/aa6/C_1280_1928_285_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742582413757 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/mid_C_1280_1928_285_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742582413757 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/C_1280_1928_285_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742582413757 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/preview_C_1280_1928_285_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742582413757 1 image 4 media image reference term-89480 adlib-term-89480 f1ea518e-351c-3f42-b2a7-db0f8559fa2c vase reference term-107478 adlib-term-107478 81002e74-5083-37b8-a429-4a303fc40695 cover history note G.E.
