South East View of the STUPENDOUS Iron Bridge...


Addison, Falconer & Co, Forth Banks, Newcastle Pottery

Ian Sharp 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.

The mug has a printed mark for 'Newcastle Pottery' in the oval shapes to the left and right of the transfer, and a typical Newcastle frog inside. Note the initials 'R' and 'NC' either side of the title in the details below.  As the mug is already marked 'Newcastle Pottery', I think the 'R' likely relates to the initial of the engraver based in Newcastle (NC).  The mug may be a little early for Michael Ryles.

Wallace & Co, Pottery Road, Forth Banks

This mug has the same transfer as the earlier mug above except that the factory marks have been erased, showing as solid blue oval patches on either side.  The erasure was likely made by one of the later Forth Banks partnerships.  Wallace & Co are known to have produced blue transferware and to have used flower decoration is this way.
Below another similar mug with a different section of transfer on the handle. There is a child's head in front of a picket fence.  Neither mug has a frog inside.

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