Early Staffordshire Lusterware Tea Service

Description
An early Staffordshire pink lusterware partial tea and dessert service consisting of 17 pieces: 12 cups and saucers, 2 dessert plates, 1 sugar, 1 creamer, 1 slop bowl.

Lustreware was not made in England before the start of the 19th century and was initially developed in Staffordshire, where Wedgwood developed a pink or gold luster finish about 1805. Some of the luster factories were in Sunderland and they mostly made fairly cheap and popular pieces. There were also factories in other parts of Staffordshire as well as Newcastle Upon Tyne. Most are not marked and very hard to tell which factory they came from.
