West View of the Cast Iron Bridge – Sunderland


Dawson, Low Ford Pottery

​This is Baker's bridge 10, marked 'J. Dawson & Co, Low Ford Pottery'.  The shape of the jug suggests it might have been made before 1820.
A jug of similar age and shape decorated with hand-painted flowers.

West View of the Cast Iron Bridge – North Shields


Baker attributes this view, bridge 22, to Dawson's Low Ford Pottery, but I'm unsure on what basis, except perhaps that it resembles bridge 10.  It seems more likely to me that the creamware mugs below are from Tyneside.


The mug above has a thick-set looking frog, perhaps more like a toad! ​Below is, an almost identical mug, but without the toad.

Attributed to Cornfoot, Carr and Co (1832–1838) or
Carr and Patton, Low Lights Pottery (1838–1846), North Shields – large version

This transfer was almost certainly used under both of the above partnerships at North Shields.  In the absence of a dated inscription it is hard to attribute the jugs below to one partnership or the other.  The later items are more heavily potted and tend to have darker lustre.

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