An Early victorian Lustre Ware Jug
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 pretty Lustre ware jug with hand painted decoration.
Condition is good with no chips or cracks, there are some tiny spots in the glaze in the lip of the jug as shown in the close up photo.
Dimensions : 13cm high
