Large Sunderland Pink Lustre Jug Maritime Theme c.1800

This is a good large early 19th century Sunderland pink lustre jug in really great condition with colourful hand painted masted ships and maritime verse. No winds or waves our progress check, Our course we must persue, And though the vessel fears a wreck, She’s saved with all her crew. The large piece has bold pink lustre sponged decoration and a further charming verse “To a Friend” When in solemn secret prayer, When your spirit finds access, When you breath in all your cares, Sweetly at the of grace, Me to Jesus then commend, Think upon an absent friend. This is likely from Scott's Southwick pottery or the Dawson factory in Low Ford where these were manufactured. This is a great example of charming early Sunderland pottery. Dixons pottery was also known as Garrison pottery from the factory in Southwick, Sunderland. No damage or restoration, tiny manufacturing chip to the rim which is over glazed. A really charming jug circa 1800. The jug measures 24cm high and is 22cm in diameter by 30cm wide overall including the handle.
