Huge Antique British Sunderland Crimean War Lustreware Pitcher, The Sailor's Return pastel painting with clean lines and substantialI've had a few pieces of 19th c. Sunderland lustreware and keep an eye out for them as I really love the transfer images and especially the verses. This huge piece 9 inches tall was I believe created during, and in tribute to, the Crimean War (1853 1856).
