Antique 1920s White Ironstone Ham Stand | Advertising Glenhurst Equipment Outfitters | Ironstone Butchers Shop order Display Stand | A/F Condition

order A nice example of white Ironstone ware at its finest, in as found condition with some chips one one end.

This antique Ironstone ham stand dates from the 1920s. Featuring a wonderfully clear black transfer print advertising logo for "Glenhurst Equipment", who were shop outfitters, this is a great example of antique English advertising ware.

Ceramic ham stands were commonly used in shops in the early part of the twentieth Century. They were used to display the meats provision shops had available for sale. The ham bone would be placed into the hole in the middle of the stand, from which ham could be freshly cut to order for customers.

It is a heavy and quality antique piece, which shows off the quality of ironstone. Although there are some chips, it is still very sturdy and usable, showing the durability of ironstone. It is perfect for a modern kitchen, and really comes into its own used as a display piece during family celebrations, Easter or Christmas.

Having been used in a butchers shop, this piece does have some wear to it. There are three chips to the rim on the end where the logo is displayed. Apart from light crazing all over and some wear to the rims, though, there is no other damage and it is still a sturdy piece. If displayed cleverly, the chips can be hidden from view to a large extent. The price has also been reduced to reflect the damage.
