Miniature Lusterware Pitchers

Description

Josiah Wedgewood probably invented what we call pink luster around 1792. It is a pinkish, purplish decoration around the rim of the pottery. It was mainly used on tea sets although it was used to decorate other wares are well. This particular type of luster ware was manufactured only in England, much of it for the American trade.
