We've been collecting for 30+ years, largely 18th and early 19th century English earthenwares. Along the way we've picked up many lustre pieces, caught by the variety (and also the price!). With one us of retired we've developed this website, focussing currrently on lustre jugs, to show a range of pieces, looking specifically at common decoration, handle, spouts, and soon, bodies.

The collection is obviously not comprehensive. Our goal is to include other pieces from other collectors, with links to 'open' museum websites.

There's a lot we don't know and likely some mistakes. If you have comments, or a diagnostic lustre piece that you'd be willing to add, please contact us at mafreeman2025@gmail.com. We can put a specific citation note on the website for contributed pieces.
