About Smithey: North Charleston, SC-based Smithey Ironware is a backyard story. Founder, Isaac Morton, hatched the idea for Smithey while tinkering around his woodshed admiring the smooth surfaces and timeless logo design of vintage ironware. Here, he developed an expertise in restoring beautiful old cookware pieces, which he would then gift to friends and family. And from that idea – that a lost art might be restored into a modern icon - Smithey Ironware was born. Smithey cookware is designed and crafted in the USA and guaranteed for life. Use it well!
