Multi-colored
Sunderland Lustre Pitcher
This Sunderland Lustre Pitcher
is unusual in that it has black transfers that are multi-color painted by
hand. Sunderland Lustre Pitchers are the most beautiful of all English
pottery! They were made for export and sold to Lodges as water
pitchers. This one has a couple of Masonic poems: "The
world is in pain, our secrets to gain, But still let them wonder and gaze on,
They ne'er (never) can divine, The word nor the sign, Of a Free 'an Accepted
Mason." It measures 8 1/8 inches tall and 5 1/4 inches in
diameter at the base. Estimated auction value on a pitcher in nice
condition is $1,000.+
A special "Thanks"
to Brother Al Lohman, a 30 year collector and 30+ year
Masonic Lodge member from Wisconsin for submitting the pictures of this
beautiful pitcher. Al trades on eBay under the User ID
