| This is a beautiful two handled covered tureen, tray and ladle all in perfect condition with no chips or flakes. this is another of what I call cabinet pieces, pieces which were admired but seldom used. The tureen dates 1860. Lustre decoration was used in english pottery from the early 19th century and different metals are used to achieve the various colors. Pink lustre comes from " purple of cassis" Sunderland lustre is done on a white body and to achieve the splash effect oil was sprayed on the wet lustre. the oil expanded in the firing to form bubbles and splashes. Factories who used this technique were Southwick, dixon & austin,and Bails. Most lustre was produced in Newcastle on Tyne. The set stands 9 " and is 11" wide. I have taken seperate pictures of the pieces so that you can see the condition. | ||
