Carr and Patton, North Shields

The photos below show the other transfers that appear on Carr items with the Shields transfer. The second jug below is dated 1844 in typical red script.

The first two details below are from the two jugs above (click to enlarge).  Note the horizontal shading on the tower is different to the Fell version of the transfer (right image).  Also, the two Carr imprints are speckled with tiny scratches in the same places.

The jug, c1840, is attributed to Fell on the basis of the distinctive lustre decoration, elements of which are found on plaques with the Fell impress. The over-glaze transfers of Fell items from this period have a sooty quality.

Note the painted lustre sun on the second image of the jug (to the above right of the Sailor's Farewell transfer.
