From c1840, however, production dwindled with the introduction of relatively cheap electro-plating. Copper lustre coating was also popular in the 1830s, though was more often combined with other decorating techniques. English lustreware was commercially produced from c.1805 and popular throughout the first half of the 19th Century. Staffordshire potters were the first and largest producers, though similar wares were also made in other regions and pink lustreware is often particularly associated with Sunderland. Minute amounts of gold were used to produce copper, gold, pink or purple lustre, depending on the type of clay, lustre formula, number of layers and firing temperature; platinum was used to mimic silver. Silver lustre was produced by dissolving platinum in aqua regia (nitric and hydrochloric acids) suspended in a resinous medium such as spirits of tar. Pots were dipped in the lustre solution to produce an even all-over coating and then fired at a low temperature, which burned the medium away to leave a ‘silver’ surface. Most lustreware was made for everyday use, and factory markings are rare. This vase shape is also found in early 19th century designs for other ceramic materials, including creamware and blue and white sprigged stoneware. Dr Glaisher wrote in his notebook: ‘It struck me as being as regards execution and general style the best piece of silver lustre I have seen… Silver lustre (like silver) to my mind shows best on a perfectly plain surface’. But he also notes that he previously declined to buy the piece for 15/- ( 15 shillings). reference term-106498 adlib-term-106498 272179a1-524b-3f36-aab7-bf342ce484d6 19th Century, Early reference term-107567 adlib-term-107567 3b5b26a6-e8df-3d66-b1ba-c2a77781d6e0 literal England England country Leeds (Yorks.) reference term-121303 adlib-term-121303 ec91b069-9e11-397d-92ad-6ab224992074 red earthenware Depth cm 12.5 Height cm 34.7 Width cm 15.5 reference media-34767 adlib-media-34767 79febe6a-09f6-375b-bbe2-d314d8e430cc jpeg aa/aa2/C_1169A_D_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582383351 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1169A_D_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742582383351 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1169A_D_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582383351 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1169A_D_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742582383351 1 image 0 media image reference media-34768 adlib-media-34768 8a8aeff1-031d-3979-a7d2-a2c3f6f80342 jpeg aa/aa2/C_1169A_D_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582404540 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1169A_D_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742582404540 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1169A_D_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582404540 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1169A_D_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742582404540 1 image 1 media image reference media-34769 adlib-media-34769 ba617c36-f8f9-3b0c-85ed-ef9ac6a5368a jpeg aa/aa2/C_1169A_D_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582357763 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1169A_D_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742582357763 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1169A_D_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582357763 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1169A_D_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742582357763 1 image 2 media image reference term-89480 adlib-term-89480 f1ea518e-351c-3f42-b2a7-db0f8559fa2c vase flower vase and cover history note Bought at Gill and Reigate, Oxford Street, W. on 14 February, 1912 for £9.10 (nine pounds ten shillings), by Dr J.W.L.
