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. Lustreware was particularly popular for jugs, though dishes, goblets and tea wares are also found. It was mostly made for everyday use, and factory markings are rare.Queen Victoria (1819-1901)and Prince Albertof Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1819-1861) were betrothed in 1839, two years after she acceded to the throne, and married in February 1840. The image here is of a young couple, which suggests the cup and saucer were made early in the marriage, which lasted until Albert’s death in 1861. The Queen spent much of the year at Windsor Castle, perhaps depicted in the second transfer.The vignette of Victoria and Albert was based on a stipple engraving by Samuel Bradshaw after Frank Topham, entitled 'Her most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria and His Royal Highness Prince Albert Married Feby 10th 1840', a copy of which is in the National Portrait Gallery, no. D20923.Transfer printing was introduced in the second half of the 18th century, generally using the glue bat method. The design was engraved on a copper plate, which was covered with linseed oil; a thin bat of animal glue was pressed onto the oiled plate and then applied to the ware. The ware was then dusted with powdered metallic oxide, which adhered to the oil, and fired to fix the design. Round-bodied vessels were particularly well suited to this method as the flexible bat could be stretched around curves.referenceterm-120127adlib-term-120127ee2ddbd4-503c-30f5-8cf9-3c2d121bd315Victoria Ireferenceterm-106498adlib-term-106498272179a1-524b-3f36-aab7-bf342ce484d619th Century, Early#referenceterm-37633adlib-term-3763343c6b916-951a-36c6-a4a7-7342c900a6d7bone chinaDiametercm14.5Widthcm11.5referencemedia-42904adlib-media-42904a2faea45-c043-303c-b8ce-36e997e8b02fjpegaa/aa2/C_33_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162700781581imagejpegaa/aa2/mid_C_33_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels362widthpixels50016162700781581imagejpegaa/aa2/C_33_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162700781581imagejpegaa/aa2/preview_C_33_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels181widthpixels25016162700781581image0media
