When tempests mingle... – Sunderland


The second verse of a hymn (Now Weigh the Anchor) by James Montgomery, b 1771.

​When tempests mingle sea and sky,
And winds like lions rage and rend,
Ships o'er the mountain-waters fly,
Or down unfathom'd depths descend,
Though skill avail not, strength decay,
Deliver us, good Lord, we pray.

Moore & Co's Wear Pottery and Scott's Southwick Pottery

An unmarked plaque, attributed to Moore's c1860.  During this period Moore's decorated pottery for Scott's, so bowls with this version appear with the SCOTT impress.

The Moore impressed bowl below has the transfer with similar enamels.  I've shown the detail at the bottom of the verse, which is obscured by enamels on the plaque above.

The two Scott-impressed bowls below also have this version of the transfer.  Scott's supplied Moore's with plain earthenware for decoration around this period.  Note that the Rifleman transfer on the second bowl is unique to Moore's pottery.

A large jug with an inscription typical of Moore's pottery.

Scott's Southwick Pottery

As well as sending earthenware to Moore's for decoration, Scott's also had their own version of the transfer, here seen in conjunction with typical Scott flower transfers around the spout and one of the Scott months series, October.

A similar wash ewer below with bowl, and a punch bowl with the Crimea transfer, c1855.

Three jugs with the transfer and typical Scott flower transfers to the collar.

Two jugs with lustre decoration around the collar typical of Scott's in the 1850s.

Ball's Deptford Pottery – 1

The copper plate for this version of the transfer was donated by the Ball family to the collection of Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens, Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums.  At a later date, someone has added the fake printed inscription 'Dixon, Phillips & Co, Sunderland'.  My guess is that this was done sometime after the Garrison Pottery closed in 1865 and with the intention to deceive.

Ball's Deptford Pottery – 2

A completely different rendering of the verse, in a rope border.  Ball's pink- and orange-lustre wares are difficult to date and continued to be produced into the 20th century.


A mug with naive decoration typical of Ball's late production.

When tempests mingle... – Tyneside


C T Maling

The copper plate (last detail) again survives in the collection of Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens, Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums. 

The bowl above is unmarked.  Below is a similar example, with a transfer from the same copper plate, and the CT Maling impress.

An unmarked mug with the transfer.

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