Ron,
Thanks for that, but since I've had a couple of posts from the US mentioning
'bluish' ironstone, I should clarify that this isn't what quite I mean.
I mean materials where the fabric is quite literally a deep sky blue similar
to the blue in Wedgwood jasperware (though I remain unconvinced that the
latter was the inspiration)

Subject: Re: Blue-bodied earthenware
A quantity of molded ironstone table ware recovered from the Ballast Point
Whaling Station (San Diego, California) 1868-1886, exhibited a bluish body
color. These were molded in gothic panels, the paste was very hard, and the
glaze
solid. We did not break them off from the other white ware, as my concern
was
how much had been improved or soft paste.
