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. Potters used minute amounts of gold 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. Most lustreware was made for everyday use, and factory markings are rareIn 1820, a Parliamentary Bill was placed before Parliament to dissolve the marriage of George IV and Caroline of Brunswick, on the grounds of her adultery. The couple, who were cousins, married in 1795 when George IV was Prince Regent, but they had been separated for some years by the time he became King and he did not want her as his Queen. She, however, had the passionate support of much of the population, and feeling in the country ran high. The Bill was eventually withdrawn, though Caroline was never crowned and died the following year. The names inscribed around the verse are those of the Queen’s supporters. The rhyme mimics the national anthem; Caroline’s accusers were known as the Green Bag Crew because they kept heir evidence in a type of green bag used by lawyers. The jug was made to sell to the Queen's sympathisers and seems to have been made in large numbers.referenceterm-108976adlib-term-108976dc8f08bb-8cb5-3af0-a884-9780ec8d0e12George IVreferenceterm-106498adlib-term-106498272179a1-524b-3f36-aab7-bf342ce484d619th Century, Early#referenceterm-107611adlib-term-107611790e5a19-a186-34d5-a16e-2d8dff9f6247white earthenwareHeightcm14.5Widthcm17.5referencemedia-34751adlib-media-3475136611e27-61ab-320d-8983-93f52d093bc6jpegaa/aa2/C_1162_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162486372661imagejpegaa/aa2/mid_C_1162_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels362widthpixels50016162486372661imagejpegaa/aa2/C_1162_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162486372661imagejpegaa/aa2/preview_C_1162_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels181widthpixels25016162486372661image0media
