South East View of the Iron Bridge over the River Wear – bridge 40
Unidentified pottery
The mug above has Baker's bridge 40 transfer. The Tyne & Wear Archives and Museums catalogue attributes this mug to Moore & Co, but I am unsure on what basis. Note that the shading of the sails is different to the Tyneside version below.
Newcastle Pottery, Addison, Falconer & Co, 1790 – 1834
This mug and the one below are firmly attributed to the Newcastle Pottery on account of the distinctive frog inside, which appears on mugs with printed Newcastle marks.

This appears to be a heavier imprint from the same copper plate as the mug above.

These Gray's Pottery vintage items are now collectable in their own right. The characteristic dark lustre is easy to spot and unlikely to be mistaken for an original 19th century item. You can find out more about Gray's here. See also page 70 of Baker's Sunderland Pottery.
Below, a loving cup with a Gray's printed mark to the base. The use of lustre on the inside of the mug is again not something that you would ever likely find on a 19th century item.
