Description: | This mug was made for a small child or perhaps as a christening present. It is painted in pink lustre with a transfer printed alphabet on the side. Lustre is a thin layer of metal painted onto the ceramic, made by adding metallic salts to the pigments. This particular pink or purple lustre is often referred to as 'Sunderland Ware' because so much of it was made in the area, although it was widely used across the country. This mug was probably made at Scott's Pottery at Southwick, Sunderland. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | religion living in the North East art made in the North East makers children ceramics date period industry | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
