Krementz Vintage Jewelry finds it's way to Ironstone!




Ironstone Heritage Museum has acquired two very unique estate pieces. Vintage Krementz Costume Jewelry dating from the 1950’s – 1960’s.  Both of the samples currently available for purchase are very unique and hard to find examples of the famous Krementz design house established in the late 1800’s. 



The first piece, a unique silvertone and rhynstone necklace screw earring set, is in excellent condition showing no signs of wear. It is a stunning piece, perfect for the Holidays.

The second piece is a rare “Bonnet” pin by Krementz. We were only able to find 2 samples of this piece on the web. Both of the sites offered the pin for sale for a price of $52.00.  Ironstone Heritage Museum is proud to present both of these beautiful estate collector pieces for only $35.00 each.

Please keep in mind  these are estate, previously owned pieces that will not come around again. If you are interested in purchasing, please contact us here in the Heritage Museum  immediately as they will not last for too long!

Vaughn Pottery New pieces!

Bill & June Vaughn of Vaughn Pottery have graced our shelves for the upcoming Christmas Season with an outstanding collection of pottery and wearable art pieces.  

Above is June getting ready to set up while Bill talks shop with Ironstone's very own Garden Guy, Larry.

A union of two highly creative minds, each piece reflects the vital roles that both Bill & June each play in its formation.  Bill is interested in the form of the piece and the textures achieved through his choice of burnishing or using slip to finish; or to fire with or without horse hair.  June further develops the pieces with decoration that includes paint, carving, stones, antlers, beads and other found objects. 

Below are just a few from the collection available for sale. These are one of a kind pieces, each with a unique story all its own.
