Ironware is a rather old, tidy word for articles made of iron — pots, pans, tools, hooks, hinges, the useful metal goods of a kitchen or a workshop. It names the stuff, not a pretty pattern. A house in the past might be full of ironware: a heavy pan, a kettle, a stand by the fire. Shops that sold metal goods used to talk about ironware the way we now say hardware. You still meet it on labels, in museums, and in older writing. In everyday speech most people would say iron things, iron pots, or hardware. It is not a word for a single famous object; it is a group word for iron goods.
