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 pair of hand painted Sunderlannd luster cake plates with the distinctive pink luster decoration.

Cake knife not included

 

No chips or cracks , a little wear to the painting.
