Sunderland lustreware is a type of lustreware pottery made, mostly in the early 19th century, in several potteries around Sunderland, England.
It is believed there were 16 potteries in Sunderland of which 7 are known to have produced lustrewares in the nineteenth century. Many are not marked, and are hard or impossible to distinguish from similar wares made in Staffordshire pottery, as well as Newcastle upon Tyne and North Shields, so to some extent Sunderland has become a term for the style, rather than a specific indication of origin.
 
This is a collection of 7 cups and 7 saucers, all are hand painted in a variety of designs, and display the distictive pink lustre colour. They would have been used in a wealthy household.
 
General condition is good , there is a little rubbing to parts of the gilding and one piece has a small hair line crack as shown in the close up photo.
