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). The second detail from the jug below. |

A creamware eel pot with a rarer transfer of the 'Iron Bridge of Sunderland', and two jugs. All have similar decoration around the verse transfer.

The first jug below has a light blue enamel that doesn't appear on later items.
All three jugs above have the scratch on the letter 'W'.
As does the marriage jug below with an inscription dated 1835.
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.

This later imprint (1840s) is presumed to be from the same copper plate, but has no trace of the scratch on the letter W.
