Brown Transferware??? England, English, Ironstone Small Plates

I'm just now getting round to taking pictures of finds from 3 thrift shopping trips ago. These dishes are quickly helping me to sigh,sob and quit looking. However..not being a quitter..I'm just getting a bit tightly strung....
The only markings stamped down into the back are : England Ironstone English
No other markings that I can see.
It was a good thrifting trip when I found these six little plates that I'm calling Brown Transferware. I loved these sweet little plates, and looked all over for more,
I like ironstone and I like this sweet pattern. There was no more of it to be found,
but all was not lost. I found a baby or mini cloche and a glass cheese dome that can be used as a cloche with a gorgeous plate; two Pyrex bowls, one tiny green casserole and one that has most of the gold color almost removed,. I will show those and the rest of the treasures I found that day.
I surely would appreciate if anyone has a clue about this pattern. Is it transfer ware? I like it,whether it is or not..I would just like to know.
By the way.. I paid 50 cents for each little plate. Now to find more..

  3. Ironstone pottery I believe came from Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, in the early 20th centruy. So called because there will be iron ore in the clay (so don't put them in the microwave!) I remember my granny having some of this pottery but haven't seen any in years. Hope this helps. Ros

  4. Hi CC, very pretty plates and I love your Blue Monday post. I could not post for Blue Monday because I'm still making Pink Saturday visits.
    Hope your feeling a little better.

  6. Hi CC,
    Congrats on your win at Shirl's. You will love your little bunny she made. I have one too from her etsy shop and it is darling. I came this way to visit from Shirl's and so glad I did. Your blog is lovely and I have so enjoyed my visit.

    I love brown transferware too from England, but I am not sure of the pattern name. You sure got them at a great price. Gorgeous.

    So nice to meet you and now I am a happy follower too.
    Have a nice week.
    Hugs, Celestina Marie
