Victorian pink lustreware china, these pieces would have been bought as souvenirs from the place named. During the Victorian times, many working class people were able to take a holiday, something which had been a privilege to only the Upper Classes before. With the use of trains, many families would travel to the British seaside towns.
And thus the market for these souvenir pieces came about. These I’ve collected over a few years and am now selling via the Etsy shop, so they are waiting to go to new homes. Click on the photos for more information.
