Huge Antique British Sunderland Crimean War Lustreware Pitcher, The Sailor's Return koi fish Apricot (presumably): approx 2 1/4"I'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). It has a maritime theme, describing setting out with hope and resolve and culminating in "The Sailor's Return" ("Now safe returned from danger's past with joy I hail the shore") on the spout side,
