Description: | The Tyneside potteries were closely linked to the river and sea. Visiting sailors provided a ready market, and so many of their products have marine themes. This creamware mug is decorated with a transfer print of a mariner's compass, an instrument used for navigation. The enamel colours were then painted onto the design on top of the glaze. It was made at the Tyne Pottery, owned by Thomas Patterson & Company and based at Gateshead. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work living in the North East transport art made in the North East makers ceramics date period industry | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
