Israel Freeman & Son

We are presenting Coffee and Tea sets manufactured by #IsraelFreeman & Son. Before we begin, we shall start by correcting our vocabulary: A #vintage item is a modern cheaply made thing that looks old and is sold expensively. An #Antique is an item that is a hundred years old or more. I do not sell cheaply made things. I sell Antiques. They are expensive because they are investments and symbols of social status.
So, there is not much found about #IFS. However, we know that they started manufacturing #Sheffield #holloware in #England, in the beginning of the 20th century and that the company moved to the United States, in #NewYork, in the 1920’s. Therefore, I would have to assume that if the hallmark on an Israel Freeman holloware is saying Sheffield, England, it would mean that it was manufactured around 1920, in England. If it simply says Israel Freeman & Son, that would mean that it was manufactured after 1928.
