means A durable, heavy-bodied white stoneware made to look and feel like fine porcelain, but tough enough for everyday use.

from Patented in England in the early 19th century, the name was pure marketing: the clay body contained no actual iron, but calling it 'ironstone' told customers exactly what they needed to know — this dish would not chip the moment you looked at it. It was a cheaper, sturdier answer to delicate Chinese porcelain, built for real tables and real dropped forks.
