WHITE IRONSTONE NOTES
VOL. 16 No. 1
SUMMER 2009
CONVENTION COVERAGE
SUGAR BOWLS & WASTE JARS
In this issue you will find an article reviewing the Exhibit and power
point talk on Sugar Bowls from the Chautauqua Convention. Above are
three Full Rib pieces by Pankhurst from the superb Sugar Bowl Display.
The huge waste jar illustrates how many of the potters used the same
sugar bowl form when making the grand sized waste jar of the chamber
set. The smallest sugar bowl is from the child’s tea set.
Very few of the huge waste jars have been found and only three were
used in the sugar bowl display. So we thought it would be appropriate to
show those we have in WICA’s archives in this issue. (See page 16)

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK
There are so many things to cover in this
issue.
There were two fabulous displays at this
Convention. One on ladles, beautifully
presented by Jean Atkinson, and one on
sugar bowls wonderfully organized by
Carol Fleischman and Janice Stork, “According to Jean Wetherbee.”
We were all treated to accompanying
power point presentations of Ladles by
Olga and Tom Moreland and later, of
Sugar Bowls by Ellen Hill. Both lectures
included original research that was not
available anywhere else.
Olga Moreland
We just want to mention that the coverage of sugar bowls in this newsletter is not
in the same order as the display, nor are

necessarily the same sugar bowls as in the
display. We were just not prepared to
record the material that was so perfectly
presented.
Because we want to give as much space
as possible to these displays, we are covering as many sugar bowls as we can in
this issue and will cover the ladles in the
Fall issue.
This year we have seen one of the largest
changes to our Board of Directors. It starts
with the retirement of our longtime President, Tom Moreland. Among many things,
Tom is responsible for our becoming a
non-profit 501c3 corporation. Also retiring is Olga Moreland who served as secretary early on and has been responsible for
drafting the Protocols for all the WICA
committees. Olga and Tom have cochaired a few conventions and have been
keynote speakers at two. We are grateful to
them for the enormous amount of time
they have spent on WICA business and for
the endless research they have contributed
to the newsletter. Cindy Barber was unable to continue as Secretary and Denise
Andre who was responsible for our organization’s publicity is taking a sabbatical.
We thank all these people for their volunteered service to WICA.
We want to welcome and thank these incoming Board Members: Jim Miller,
Boyd Payne, Helen Tudor, and Karen Zindel. See the box in the upper left corner of
this page for the complete list of Board
members.
A Silent Auction, coordinated by Dave
Klein was held at the convention for the
first time this year and was a great success.
All the items were donated and the bids
were generous, so all the money raised
went directly to WICA.
To our total surprise, Elsie Freeman
Finch presented us with the Jean Wetherbee Honors Award at the Saturday night
Banquet. This award means a lot to both
of us because Jean is our hero. She spent
years looking for and researching white
ironstone without the help of a computer
or a camera. She used her warm charm
and pencil and paper to make drawings of
the shapes she found. We have it pretty
easy in comparison.
At the convention we asked our members
to help us with a project. Part of our
archives of photos are on CDs and just
files from the camera. They have only
numbers to identify them which makes
them useless to us because we can’t search
for a particular Shape. The computer
wouldn’t know. Members would go
through the disk and identify any shapes
that they could and leave the rest for the
next volunteer. We were delighted with
the response. So many of you were interested in doing it. Unfortunately, the first
two disks we gave out were unopenable.
We don’t know why but until we can figure
it out, the project is on hold.

Just purchased this 1890’s teapot. It is 9

inches tall. Talk about a plain teapot – this
is it. The bottom of the (matching) mug
has 9 sides with indentions around the side
– hard to see in the picture. The handle and
thumb rest are exactly the same as the
teapot (Rhine shape) I sent you a picture
of last week. The mug (and teapot) is by
J & G Meakin – Hanley – England.

*********************************
Boyd, we identified your teapot as Rhine
shape because of the four-petal flower
ate interest and bring in young blood. Regular memberships continue to be $30.00
per year (for one household), but a threeyear membership is now available for
$90.00. Of particular interest is the creation of two research membership categories. A one-year research membership
(for one household) is $80.00 and a threeyear research membership is $240.00. The
$50.00 per year increment over the cost of
regular membership is deemed a contribution to WICA to be credited to its Education Fund.
In each edition of WIN I hope to highlight issues of importance being dealt with
by your board and officers.
Finally, I encourage each of you to attend our annual conventions and regional
meetings. They are informative, a way to
meet kindred spirits, and great fun. We will
announce the location of the 2010 convention and the dates of regional meetings as
plans are finalized.
Have a wonderful summer and happy
hunting for that “white stuff”!
Regards,
Harry M.

identified as Rhine (See page 63 of the
Pitcher Book) but your pieces don’t have
the scrolled ribbon motif.
The mug is intriguing because it has an
odd number of sides. This is the only time
we have seen this on an ironstone piece.

President’s Letter
Hello fellow WICA members. It is a
pleasure to write my first letter to you. I
appreciate your electing me President and
promise that I will do my best.
Many issues face us in these times and
membership recruitment and retention

SUGAR BOWLS and SUGAR POTS
Ellen Hill gave a very enlightening power point talk on sugar
bowls at the convention. She said that before sugar, honey was
the only major sweetener available in Europe; and went on with
a paraphrase "a bowl by any other name could hold a sweet."
Some of the other names for bowl are POT, BASIN, BOX, BASKET, SUCRIER, BARREL and DISH. She continued with a
short history of sugar, which originated in the South Pacific and
Asia and later spread to India, Spain and North Africa. Due to
the climate needs of sugar cane it was tried out successfully in
South and Central America and the Caribbean Islands, and also
was grown in the southern United States.
Growing sugar cane was the main cause of slavery in North
and South America. The social impact of slavery is still a major
problem today. In England, the source of our white ironstone,
sugar started out as a luxury and vast profits were made both by
the sugar importers and the government through taxes; sugar was
sometimes called "white gold"! It later became quite cheap and
was within the reach of the middle and working class people.
Three of the beverages popular during the 1800s were tea, coffee
and chocolate - all somewhat bitter, they were all logical candidates for sweetening. Sweetened tea became so normal that many
small children died of malnutrition because they were getting all
their energy from sugar which has no vitamins or minerals. What
is the social impact of sugar today? Sugar is the most used food
additive today -- sweetened cereal, candy, soft drinks, breads,
snacks, cakes, pies, cookies -- the list is endless! Almost all prepared foods contain added sugar; the result is obesity and early
on-set type 2 diabetes.
Sugar in the 1800s was processed/compressed into the form of
a conical "loaf". (see photo) The cone
or loaf was broken into chunks or
lumps by iron sugar nips and put in
large sugar bowls. The use of the sugar
nips may account for the chips often
found on the inner edge of the sugar
bowls. The bowls were large -- almost
as large as the teapot itself -- to accommodate the sugar chunks. Pieces of
sugar were lifted from the sugar bowls
using sugar tongs -- "would you like
one lump or two?" Most sugar was
also brown -- only the very wealthy had the extra refinement of
sugar processed with whitening agents. This brown sugar, is responsible for the staining of the sugar bowl base if the bowl was
crazed. The lid or top usually remained white as it didn't come
in contact with the sugar. In the 1890s and early 1900s sugar processing evolved and granulated sugar became available. The result? Smaller sugar bowls.
In this issue we are showing as many shapes as we have space
for. There were many more in the great convention display.

SHOW AND TELL
Boyd Payne found a relish with the name “Seine” embossed
on the back along with the mark of John Edwards. Although
we would bet there was a lot of this Shape sent to the U.S.,
the only other piece we have seen is a pitcher on page 63 of
the Pitcher Book.
A rare Winterberry child’s tea set was
proudly shown by Carol Fleischman.
Jean Wetherbee says that Winterberry
shape is very had to find, so a child’s
set is really rare. It was potted by Edward Clarke after 1865.
The Armbrusters brought a few wonderful
pieces. The rare hand dish has oak leaves
and acorns at the wrist. All others have
what appear to be grape leaves. Adele is
holding a high relief jug with roses, thistles
and shamrocks. Symbols of the British Empire. Richard showed a stack of three
Elsmore and Forster Ceres compotes in
graduated sizes!
Vol. 16.1 Page 13
SHOW AND TELL
Shelly Micali brought two beautifully proportioned
plain pails or waste buckets. The one on the left
has an insert at the top which funnels liquid to the
bottom without splashing. It is missing its wire or
rattan handle. The one on the right has its original
wire handle.
A new to us, plate shape with a simple wide raised
band. Janet Knorr found eight of them, all marked
E. Challinor. The mark has an eagle holding a
banner with E Pluribus Unim, and Pearl Ironstone
China below. Janet says she enjoys using these
great soup plates.
Bob and Bonne Hohl brought an unusual cake
stand with carved leaves on the rim and on the foot
of a paneled hexagonal stand. They also brought a
covered cheese dish with a wonderful open blossom finial. We are trying to identify it botanically.
Page 14 Vol. 16.1
SHOW AND TELL
Harry Moseley showed us a Wheat jug
by E. Walley, impressed Ceres on the
bottom. Registered April 26, 1851.
Dave Klein gave us an opportunity to get the only photo
we have of a Nodding Bud sugar bowl. It was potted by
James Edwards and registered December 2, 1851. The
importer, E.A. & S.R. Filley of St. Louis Mo., wanted their
mark to be more prominent so J. Edwards is very shallowly embossed.
Carol Hovey found a stack of unmarked six-sided oyster
plates.
Ernie Dieringer found a rare white ironstone soup tureen by T. J. &
J. Mayer named Rose Bud by the Flow Blue collectors. This shape
was made both by the Mayers and J. & G.Alcock and it is rarely
found in white. The Morelands discovered a vegetable tureen in
their collection. The only two pieces of this shape known so far.
Vol. 16.1 Page 15
SHOW AND TELL
Janice Stork had this sugar bowl for
years and was surprised to discover
when she looked at its mark that it was
James Edwards and not Anthony Shaw.
It looked like Shaw’s Pear but on closer
inspection, she realized it could only be
Split Pod shape. She also found the
matching teapot.
Mary Ann Ulmann brought this unusualshaped pot which has the spout tightly attached
against the side. Some collectors thought it
may have been a chocolate pot. Jean Wetherbee called it an ale pitcher in her book. The
one shown was potted by J. & G Meakin.
Tom Moreland showed a Dover shape sauce tureen
marked Adams not JF. It has the same thin mellon stem
as on the JF version. The Morelands also brought a pair
of Nautilus spoon warmers they had recently found.
A rare flask in the shape
of a dog was Rick
Nielsen’s discovery.
There was no mark on
it. We remembered one
just like it in the Dan
Overmayer collection.
It is amazing and very
reassuring that two of
these have survived.

COLLECTORS’ SHOWCASE
While searching through files
on the computer, I came across
pictures of a Plum Decagon sauce
tureen that were taken at the
home of Polly Gosselin and
Bertica Vasseur in New Hampshire.
This shape was made by J. & G.
Meakin and we think it is particularly elegant. The photo at right
shows the plum motif on the handles of the under tray.
