Sunderland Ware is lustre-decorated earthenware that was made by several potteries that were active between about 1800 and 1880. Large bowls and jugs were characteristic pieces decorated, usually with pink lustre, often splashed with white to give a marbled effect. The designs were transfer-printed and included religious and rustic subjects, animals, topical personalities and local views especially the cast-iron bridge over the River Wear at Sunderland.
