A Pair of Mason's Ironstone Bowls in the Mandalay Pattern - A pair of Mason's Ironstone earthenware bowls decorated in the Mandalay pattern. The circular bowls feature an Imari-inspired floral design across the exterior, utilising a palette of cobalt blue, iron red, and ochre with gilded highlights. The decoration is achieved through a combination of transfer-printing and hand-painted finishing. Each base displays a reddish-brown printed mark featuring a crown above the name MASONS, with a banner below containing the text IRONSTONE MADE IN ENGLAND. The pattern name Mandalay is printed beneath the banner. One bowl bears additional hand-painted marks in red reading PA and 101, while the other features a small hand-painted mark 84.
