The Smithey Story
Smithey Ironware is a backyard story. Our founder, Isaac Morton, hatched the idea for Smithey while toying around his woodshed admiring the smooth surfaces and timeless logos of vintage ironware design. Here, he developed an expertise in restoring old and forgotten pieces into surprisingly stunning cookware, which he would then gift to friends and family.
After years of studying collector’s books and restoring rusty old skillets to their 19th-century glory, the prospect of creating a something new piqued his curiosity. Building and sharing a cast iron cookware line that honored the classic style of vintage pieces, but also harnessed modern technology and processes, simply felt like a good idea. And from that idea – that a lost art might be restored into a modern icon - Smithey Ironware was born.
