Description

This is a good large Sunderland pink lustre jug probably by Dixons, with transfer print of the New Cast Iron bridge over the river Wear completed in 1796. This features a transfer of the clipper ship Northumberland to the other side and the sailors verse “Forget me not” to the front with the monogram M. C. The jug is in really great condition for its age with only a small historic repair to the spout evident.

FAQs

Sunderland lustreware is a type of English pottery characterised by its metallic pink or purple glaze, primarily produced in the potteries along the River Wear in Sunderland during the 19th century.

These pieces were typically made from earthenware, decorated using copper transfer printing for the central imagery, and hand-painted with metallic lustre solutions that created the distinctive iridescent pink splash effects during firing.

Authenticity is identified by weight, crazing in the ceramic glaze, hand-applied lustre effects, historical transfer prints featuring landmarks like the Wearmouth Bridge, and characteristic imperfections consistent with 19th-century pottery manufacturing.

Position the jug as a focal point on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or sideboard where its metallic sheen catches natural light, pairing it with neutral backgrounds to highlight its historic craftsmanship.

Clean gently with a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth to remove dust. Avoid submerging in water, harsh chemical detergents, or placing in areas with direct sunlight to protect the fragile metallic lustre glaze.
