 Now weigh the anchor... – Sunderland


The first verse of a hymn by James Montgomery, b 1771.

​Now weigh the anchor, hoist the sail,
Launch out upon the pathless peep,
Resolved, however veers the gale,
The destin'd port in mind to keep;
Through all the dangers of the way,
Deliver us, good Lord, we pray.

Moore's Wear Pottery and Scott's Southwick Pottery


Below is the transfer on a jug commemorating Robert Burns – a transfer used uniquely by Moore's pottery.  The heavily lustred collar is also typical of Moore's.

And on a larger jug with an inscription typical of Moore's.

During this period, Scott's was supplying Moore's with plain earthenware for decoration, so this version of the verse sometimes appears on items with the 'SCOTT' impress.

Scott's Southwick Pottery

In addition to sending items to Moore's for decoration, Scott's had their own version of the transfer.  Below, the other transfers on the jug, and another similar.  The lustre decoration around the collar is typical of Scott's.

A Scott-impressed wash bowl from the 1850s with typical flower decoration to the rim, and a month transfer, 'August', in the centre.

And a Crimean period (c1855) lustre bowl, which although unmarked, has transfers that appear on Scott-impressed items.

Now weigh the anchor... – Tyneside


C T Maling

The bowl above, and first row below, has the C T Maling impress. The jug and punch bowl beneath it are unmarked.  The jug has a hand-painted inscription with the date 1857.

Thanks to Chris Maguire for getting in touch with photos of the base of a bowl washed up in SW Scotland.

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