I
have a platter that measures 12 by 8 3/4 it is white
and on the back it has Royal Ironstone China with crest
W.H. Grindley & Co. England it also has a # 57.
I have a pitcher and bowl also in white on the bottom
of the bowl it says Royal Patent Ironstone Burgess &
Goodard the number is 86. Can you tell me any thing
at all? Thanks, C.Cranford

I am not an expert on Ironstone; however, I have sold
a few pieces over the years. Generally it is English
and late 1800s. The Grindley (according to Internet
sources) is probably around 1890s and the Burgess around
1870s. I do not know when those factories quit making
those pieces.
