Description

This is an early 19th century Sunderland pink lustre bowl in really great condition with colourful hand painted masted ship and maritime verse.

The bowl is likely from Scott's Southwick pottery or the Dawson factory in Low Ford where these were manufactured. This has lovely bold colours to the hand painted decoration and typical pink lustre swirling design. It is in excellent condition for its age with only one tiny historic rim chip as shown.

The verse reads

"Here's to the wind that blows and ship that goes, and the boy that fears no danger. A ship in full sail and a fine pleasant gale, and the girl that loves a sailor."

A really charming bowl circa 1800.

The bowl measures 10 cms high and is 22cms in diameter.

UK insured packing and delivery is £10

Date of Manufacture

Rams Head Antiques has dated this Sunderland Pink Lustre Bowl to the 1880s.

FAQs

Sunderland pink lustreware refers to pottery produced in the Sunderland and North East England region during the 19th century, characterised by a distinctive metallic pink glaze achieved through the application of gold chloride.

These items were typically made from earthenware or creamware, hand-painted or transfer-printed with nautical or patriotic motifs, and finished with a metallic lustre glaze before being fired in a kiln.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit characteristic crazing in the glaze, hand-brushwork details over transfer printing, minor manufacturing imperfections typical of the period, and characteristic weight and feel of nineteenth-century earthenware.

This type of decorative object works well displayed inside a glass-fronted cabinet, on an open bookshelf, or as a focal point on a sideboard, contrasting with clean lines to highlight its historic craftsmanship.

Antique ceramics should be dusted gently with a soft, dry cloth and kept out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. They must never be immersed in water or cleaned with harsh chemicals.
