The potteries can bestow no more honour on a person than produce commemoratives during one's life, at one's death and continuously for 200 years and more after.

Admiral Nelson and Captain Berry prattware jug.
Trafalgar and Death.
Liverpool creamware jug made by Johnson, and 2 plates probably Staffordshire. The blue plate commemorates "Trafalgar" but also has images of a Pyramid and a crocodile swimming in the Nile. The 2 similar mugs are by "Newcastle Pottery". The first is a frog mug and has 4 lines of text at the top on each side. The transfer on the damaged second mug (no frog) is placed slightly lower and misses the "England Expects...".

Beyond 1805
This first 4 pictures show two Sunderland Lustre jugs made probably in the 1820s. One is marked PHILLIPS HYLTON POTTERY. Another pink lustre jug (not shown) has the same transfer but without the applied colours. This one has another transfer marked for Dixon & Co Sunderland.
The last 3 pictures show a jug, again made by Dixon circa 1820, with a transfer based on the one shown on the frog mug above.
