This lot features a Sunderland Pottery Pink Luster Mariners Arms Pitcher. Sunderland Lustreware is a type of pottery originating from Sunderland, England. Several potteries were located along the banks of the River Wear in Sunderland in the Nineteenth Century. Though many made everyday tableware, some of them made a distinct type which became known as Sunderland Lustreware. Indeed, similar pottery made in Tyneside (Newcastle upon Tyne and North Shields) and in Staffordshire also received this designation in later years. It is normally found in a pink form, but orange and other colours are also found. Typical pieces are religious plaques, and jugs featuring a design incorporating the bridge over the River Wear, or various heraldic - especially Masonic - devices. Most of the pieces available today were produced in Anthony Scott's Pottery in Southwick, Dawson's Pottery in Low Ford (now South Hylton), or at Dixon, Austin & Co. This pitcher shows good condition, with little wear and some signs of age. The pitcher measures 9 1/4" H x 11 1/2" W
