Federalist Ironstone China was made in Japan and sold by Sears in the 1960s and 1970s. White ironstone Federalist china dinnerware is one of the most beautiful white ironstone patterns. A name like Federalist recalls the American Revolution and the years after, when the young country was refined. It shouts ?traditional table setting? by name alone, and even more when you see the shapes. Federalist pieces are durable with classic style. They are on the heavy side for their size, but too heavy. They compare well, in weight and glaze quality, with many of the best contemporary stoneware dinnerware lines. This dinnerware was made in solid white, solid yellow and white with blue floral transfer motif, called Mayhill. In the photos, you can see the gentle embossing, scrollwork handles and detailed finial on the top of the sugar bowl. White goes with everything, and a traditional pattern like Federalist has timeless, classic appeal.
