19th C. Sunderland Lustreware
Three pink lustreware ceramic plates, made in England, 19th century. Each piece is decorated with a coppery-pink lustre glaze.
Sunderland lustre (luster and lusterware in North America) is a general name given to a type of pottery with a pink lustre glaze made by a number of potteries in the 19th century including Leeds, Newcastle, Liverpool, Bristol and Swansea but principally and most famously by a number of potteries in the Sunderland and Wear area. The wares produced are also called Sunderland pink, pink lustre and even purple lustre.
Overall condition is good, but there are the usual issues with this type of ceramic. Some variation in colour and wear to the glaze.
Plates measures about 1’’ high x 6 5/8 “ in diameter.
