High Level Bridge Newcastle Upon Tyne

The High Level Bridge in Newcastle was a rail bridge and opened in 1849.

This version of the transfer is easily  identifiable by the curvy cloud formations.  This plaque form was know to have been used by several Tyne potteries, including Fell, Maling and Carr.  However, brown/sepia transfers (as opposed to black) are known to have been John Carr c1850, and that is my best guess for an attribution at this stage. The jug below has a more typical black transfer, and the lustre decoration is again consistent with Carr.

Attributed to Thomas Fell, St Peter's Pottery, Newcastle

The jug below, with a distinctive broad foot, has decorative features associated with Thomas Fell.

The plaque below has another feature peculiar to Fell.  The holes for hanging are pierced through the central portion, rather than through the pink-lustre border.

Attributed to CT Maling, Ouseburn Bridge Pottery, Newcastle

Picture
This transfer is attributed to Maling on the basis of the distinctive lustre script on the small Christening mug below, with an inscription for 1854.
The same transfer on two larger, heavily lustred mugs.
Below is a jug whose current condition matches the title under the ship.

This version is similar to the bowl above but the clouds appear to be different.  This could perhaps be caused by a crease in the transfer or perhaps the plate was re-engraved with more clouds at a later date.

I'm always happy to hear from other collectors or those looking to sell an item of lustreware.
