Lustre

These Maling lustre sundae dishes have been in the family sideboard for the last ten years. The Maling pottery was founded in 1762 at North Hylton near Sunderland. In 1817 it was transferred to Newcastle upon Tyne and continued there until the company closed in 1963. Maling’s business expanded when Christopher Thompson Maling II invented a means of making pottery containers by machine instead of by hand. In its heyday Maling manufactured containers for a wide variety of products, from marmalade to printing ink.
 
Presumably these dishes were once a set of six. I’m trying to work out what colour the missing bowl would have been.
