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.The collection also hold a similarly moulded milk jug.referenceterm-114523adlib-term-114523435b2a3c-ff47-31ed-bed3-17b95d739d0a19th Century, first half#referenceterm-121303adlib-term-121303ec91b069-9e11-397d-92ad-6ab224992074red earthenwareHeightcm15.8Widthcm30.5referencemedia-34789adlib-media-34789d3070f2b-1d93-3a8a-9d41-fb4a9a8bbefejpegaa/aa2/C_1172_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162793806981imagejpegaa/aa2/mid_C_1172_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels362widthpixels50016162793806981imagejpegaa/aa2/C_1172_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162793806981imagejpegaa/aa2/preview_C_1172_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels181widthpixels25016162793806981image0media
