Description

This LARGE GEORGIAN SUNDERLAND LUSTRE JUG dates from circa 1830.

It is decorated with transfer prints entitled MASONS’ ARMS and FARMERS’ ARMS to the sides. Beneath the spout is a humorous parody on Jonathan Swift’s famous verse.

It is a maxim in the schools

That women always dote on fools:

If so, dear Jack, I’m sure your wife

Must love you as she does her life.

The JUG is well drawn.

There is an old hairline to the side which is photographed from the inside. There is no restoration.

Height: 8.5 inches (22 cm)

This large Georgian Sunderland lustre jug dates from circa 1830 and stands 22 cm high, 28 cm wide, and 18 cm deep. The earthenware body is finished in a white glaze with pink splash lustre highlights, a pink and yellow floral rim border, and an arched strap handle. Detailed transfer prints decorate the sides, including the Farmers Arms crest depicting agricultural figures and implements below a banner, accompanied by floral sprays. An old hairline is present on the side. Placement suits the top of a sideboard or a display shelf within an English Country House setting, where it functions as a decorative ceramic pitcher or a focal point among other historic pottery. The traditional form integrates readily into established collections of 19th-century tableware and earthenware.

FAQs

Sunderland lustreware is a style of English earthenware produced primarily in the North East of England during the 19th century. It is distinguished by its metallic, iridised glaze finish, frequently executed in a mottled or splashed pink hue over a light-coloured ceramic body.

The signature pink lustre finish was achieved by applying a thin solution containing dissolved gold oxides over a glazed earthenware body. When fired in the kiln, the chemical reaction produced a shimmering, iridescent surface ranging from purplish-pink to metallic orange.

Authentic pieces generally feature a light earthenware body with hand-applied transfer prints, visible wear consistent with age, and unglazed or gently worn foot rings. The splash lustre pattern is usually irregular, reflecting hand-application methods rather than modern uniform reproduction techniques.

These decorative ceramics serve as effective focal points on open shelving, sideboards, or kitchen dressers. They can be displayed as standalone decorative vessels, arranged in groupings with complementary period pottery, or repurposed as vase centrepieces for floral arrangements.

Lustreware ceramics should be washed delicately by hand using warm water and mild liquid soap. Abrasive sponges, harsh chemical cleaners, and dishwashers must be avoided, as metallic glazes and transfer prints are vulnerable to wearing off under harsh conditions.
