All the transfers on this page the same fault. The engraver slipped over the 'W' in 'World' creating a small diagonal scratch over the centre of the letter. It is hard to spot on the jug above (left detail), but becomes more pronounced over time. The second detail from the jug below. |

A creamware eel pot with a rarer transfer of the 'Iron Bridge of Sunderland', and a jug with a 'Hope' transfer under the spout. Both have similar decoration around the verse transfer.

Received wisdom has it that these green-flecked jugs were made by C,C & Co in North Shields. However, the green flecks are also found on Maling impressed plaques made at the Ouseburn Bridge Pottery. I have recently acquired a green-flecked jug that shares a transfer with these firmly attributed Maling plaques. So we know that Robert Maling made at least some of these green-flecked jugs. All the jugs on this page appear to come from the same pottery.
The first jug below has blue enamel that doesn't appear on later items.
All three jugs above have the scratch on the letter 'W'.
A smaller jug dated 1836, again with the scratch.

Dating these jugs is not a precise science, but the later versions tend to have more vibrant yellow enamels..
The details below from the first three items above, again with the scratch.
