2/15/2011 0 Comments Still no surrender!Please read my previous blog post first. Brettells Auctions listed the pair of plaques below as 'Two rectangular Sunderland lustre plaques', proving that even professional cataloguers are not always completely accurate in their descriptions. The 'No surrender' transfer differs from that in my previous post, but is also likely Staffordshire. Though this version is less common than the one on eBay, the two plaques above sold today for hammer price £120. Most of the value of the lot was in the c1840–50's 'May Peace and Plenty' plaque. So, for more or less the price of the plaque sold on eBay, you could have a rarer variation AND a 19th century Sunderland lustre original.
