Wind Energy â Another Gift from the Sun? Wind energy comes from the sun. It is true â wind energy is simply a converted form of solar energy! The sunâs radiation warms different parts of the earth, oceans, and other bodies of water, at different rates. The night and day cycles make an obvious difference, but also, water and land absorb or reflect sunlight differently.
Ironstone china, ironstone ware or most commonly just ironstone, is a type of vitreous pottery first made in the United Kingdom in the early 19th century.
Ironstone china is a glaze-covered earthenware. It was first patented by Charles James Mason in 1813 and other manufacturers followed suit. At one point, there were almost 200 makers of ironstone china and they made everything from plates and bowls to tureens, covered casseroles, and gravy boats.
