<p>[QUOTE="birgittaw, post: 6670, member: 28"]The closest I can get in a Swedish treatise on Staffordshire is "flintgods" which probably didn't sound as attractive from a marketing perspective as "ironstone." It really doesn't feel like any "ironstone" I have, more like earthenware with a darker body than the white the Brits strived for when they developed ironstone. </p><p><br /></p><p>As a footnote, a member of the ironstone collector's group once told me a delegation from Stoke-on-Trent made a buying trip to the US to find examples of ironstone for their museum. Apparently, most of their production ended up in North America and there wasn't much left in the UK. After looking through eBay UK, I believe it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
