West View of Cast Iron Bridge... (rectangular) – bridge 9


Attributed to Garrison Pottery

The jug below, from the Sunderland Museum collection, is catalogued as Seaham.  However, I am unsure on what basis.  The eel pot with floral lid is similar to those produced by the Garrison Pottery, although I haven't seen this particular flower transfer before.  This is the version of the bridge transfer that appears in Baker as bridge 9, with the heading 'possibly Sunderland ('Garrison') Pottery'.
  • 2 rows of dashes on sail in centre detail
  • 5 windows to building beyond the bridge
The other transfers on the items are shown below.

Seaham Pottery 1

This transfer is on the Seaham jug in the Sunderland Museum, which has a painted factory mark 'Walker & Co, Seaham Pottery 1847' (click images to enlarge).
  • No dashes on sail in centre detail
  • 5 windows to building beyond the bridge

Attributed to Seaham Pottery 2

This appears to be a smaller version of the transfer above.
  • No dashes on sail in centre detail
  • 5 windows to building beyond the bridge

Attributed to Seaham Pottery 3

  • 2 rows of dashes on sail in centre detail
  • 4 windows to building beyond the bridge

The curved surfaces to which these transfers are applied makes comparison difficult, but the items above and below appear to have transfers from the same copper plate.
The Mariner's Compass transfer on the second jug below is attributed to Seaham on the basis of imperfections shared with the 'Seaham jug' in the Sunderland Museum.  The paddle steamer transfer on the third item also appears on the 'Seaham jug' and appears to be unique to that pottery.

Galloway & Atkinson, Albion Pottery

Galloway & Atkinson made some unusual plaques in their short-lived partnership at the Albion Pottery, c1864.  In the Tyne versions of the transfer, the ship in the centre has a triangular foresail.
A rare impressed Albion Pottery bowl. Impressed with the number 12 above the initials G&A.

Attributed to John Carr & Sons, North Shields

This rolling pin has yet another variation of the bridge transfer.

These items are attributed to North Shields on the basis of the accompanying transfers on other similar rolling pins (see below).  More work needs to be done though, as Ball's Pottery acquired transfer plates from various potteries and are known to have made rolling pins.

Attributed to John Carr & Sons, North Shields

This North Shields version of the transfer has three lines of text underneath the image.
Although attributed to North Shields, these items belong to a small group that appear in conjunction with transfers with a J H printed mark.  See this Mariner's Compass page for more details.

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