An eel pot with the Maling version of the transfer, The lid is decorated with fragments of an as-yet-unidentified Sunderland Bridge transfer. However, in my view, there's a strong possibility the lid has been 'married' from a different pot. For instance, the lustre squiggles and red and green enamels are reminiscent of later wares by John Carr in North Shields. More typically, these Maling eel pots have enamel flower decoration on the top.
