Sunderland Lustre Pitchers

are the most beautiful of all English pottery! Their pink and gold fisheye decor highlights the black Masonic transfers and poems. This one has a couple of Masonic poems: (1) "The world is in pain, our secrets to gain, But still let them wonder and gaze on, They ne'er (never) can divine, The word nor the sign, Of a Free 'an Accepted Mason." (2) "Let Masonry from pole to pole, Her sacred laws expand, Far as the mighty waters roll, To wash remotest land; That virtue has not left mankind, Her social maxims prove, For stamp'd upon the Masons mind, are unity and love.
