Forth Banks Pottery, Newcastle
Ian Sharp writes that the mug bears an indentical transfer to a piece manufactured by Addison, Falconer & Co, Newcastle Pottery (1790 -1824). However, the factory marks have been erased on the mug above, showing as solid blue oval patches on either side. The erasure was likely made by one of the later partnerships.
Ian records the various owners and partnerships as: 1790-1824, Addison, Falconer & Co; 1824-27, Addison & Co.; 1827-29, Taylor & Son; 1833-38, Redhead, Wilson & Co., ; 1838 – 58 Thomas Wallace, later James Wallace & Co.
Wallace & Co are known to have produced blue transferware and to use flower decoration is this way.
