The designs usually have local or topical relevance and often allude to seafaring. Mottled-pink lustre is also associated with Sunderland. Sometimes called ‘splashed lustre’, the effect is produced by spraying fine drops of oil onto still-wet lustre, which leaves the surface mottled when the oil burns away during firing.The texts on this jug are both traditional English verses and their reproduction in contemporary anthologies and magazines attests to their popularity around 1820-40. The verse ‘We sailors are born for all weathers’ comes from a sailors’ song ‘The Tar for all Weathers’ about sailors battling a gale near Gibraltar, printed in ‘Hodgson's national songster’, 1832. The writer Washington Irving records seeing a slightly varied version of the rhyme ‘This world…’, on an inn window, in ‘Tales of a Traveller’, 1824; it also appeared in the monthly journal ‘The Nic-Nac’ the same year.referenceterm-106498adlib-term-106498272179a1-524b-3f36-aab7-bf342ce484d619th Century, Early#referenceterm-108844adlib-term-108844cae6ef1c-282e-39e4-b56c-672a8117d6fdliteralEnglandEnglandcountrySunderlandreferenceterm-107733adlib-term-10773300160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4lead-glazereferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwareHeightcm18.6Widthcm23referencemedia-34331adlib-media-3433197272756-e32b-31b9-ad1a-7d6771904e8fjpegaa/aa8/C_1089_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57016162677818801imagejpegaa/aa8/mid_C_1089_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels649widthpixels50016162677818801imagejpegaa/aa8/C_1089_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57016162677818801imagejpegaa/aa8/preview_C_1089_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels325widthpixels25016162677818801image0media
