Pink Sunderland Lustre Mug with Splash Lustre Decoration, Antique 19thC English

It is rare to find a solid splash lustreware piece. Most seem to have pictures and mottoes. The pink color comes from a thin gold solution on a white body, and the "splash" is from being splashed with oil to create the interesting mottled effect. Although is usually called "Sunderland lustre", these wares were also made in Liverpool, Bristol, and Staffordshire.

This attractive small mug is just over 2-3/4" high,with the same 2-3/4" base diameter. It is in excellent condition. There are no after-manufacture chips, no cracks, and no repairs. There are 2 bits of brown frit that adhered to the bottom of the interior when the mug was fired, and one more bit on the handle. Also, there are a couple of chips on the footrim which were glazed over and fired. The mug rings when tapped. It dates c. 1830. It is not marked.
