| Sunderland pottery silver lustre cream jug c1835 |
Famous for pink and purple lustre, several of the Sunderland potteries also produced fine silver and copper lustre wares. Silver lustre is probably the rarest of the three to find; production being less and the lustre easily worn or damaged. Quite often evolved from silver shapes, it was intended as a cheaper alternative. Here is a classic example of a cream jug which can be traced back to a silver design by Hobbs of London.
