As some of you know I have a thing for white on white dishes.  Well apparently there is a name for it.  Ironstone China....   I Love It!!!  There is even a "support group",  Ironstone China Association.

  Who would have thunk it:)  They even have yearly conventions.  I came across this when I was on ebay and decided to do a simple search for a tureen.  Boy, did that open a can of worms:) 

 Here are some pieces that I am in love with.  Unfortunately the price for each one is out of the question right now,  but maybe someday I will be the new owner of a 19th century piece of Ironstone china.
