Mariners' Compass – Tyneside potteries


Attributed to Robert Maling, Ouseburn Bridge Pottery or
​​Cornfoot, Carr & Co, North Shields, 1832–1838

Received wisdom has it that these green-flecked jugs were made by C,C & Co in North Shields.  However, the green flecks are also  found on Maling impressed plaques made at the Ouseburn Bridge Pottery.  I have recently acquired a green-flecked jug that shares a transfer with these firmly attributed Maling plaques.  So we know that Robert Maling made at least some of these green-flecked jugs.  All of the items on this page appear to have come from the same pottery.

Early imprint without border above title

On the early imprints there is no serrated wheel border above the words Mariner's Compass (see section below for examples with the border).
The version of the transfer without a border (see left details below) has scratches that also appear on the transfer with the border (right details below).  So the copper plate was likely reworked at a later date, and the border added.  The later imprints with a border also have a diagonal scratch just to the left of NE (see bottom right detail).

Later  imprint with border above title

This version of the transfer has a serrated wheel border above the words Mariner's Compass.
The jug below also has the 'serrated wheel' border, but no scratches as above.

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