Masons' Arms  –  Tyne jugs


Attributed to Bird & Co, North Shields, 1823–1826?


Wheat-ear decorated jug – pre-1828

Picture
This appears to be the earliest incarnation of imprints from this transfer plate.  Note in the first detail below the diagonal shading around the beehive and 7 bees.

Attributed to Cornfoot, Colville & Co, North Shields, 1828–1832


Wheat-ear decorated jug – 1828

Picture
By 1828 the transfer plate had been re-engraved, perhaps by the new proprietors, C,C&Co,  Note there are now only 6 bees, and horizontal shading overlays the diagonal shading around the beehive.

Attributed to ​Cornfoot, Carr & Co, North Shields, 1832–1838


Green-flecked decorated jug – group 1

Picture
Below another jug from this plate with a transfer of Hope under the spout, replacing the hand-painted anchor in earlier wares.

Later examples of these jugs have yellow enamels.
Picture
The left photo is a detail from the jug above, inscribed 1833.  The centre detail is from the 1828 wheat-ear jug above. Both have diagonal marks (circled in red on the middle photo)  that do not appear on the pre-1828 wheat-ear jug (right detail).  It appears that all the items above came from the same transfer plate, re-engraved at various points over a long period of use.

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


Green-flecked decorated jug – group 2

Picture
This transfer comes from a different plate to all those above.  Note, the row of blocks above the words Mason's Arms are not diagonally shaded (see below).

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