| Description : | A six-sided cup. The interior is cylindrical. Each side has a pattern including flowers or cross-hatching. |
| Commentaires : | : The cup was imported by Import Bazaar Ltd. a Canadian import company based in Montreal, Quebec. The company was begun in 1971 by Robert Camp and was subsequently sold to Pier 1 Imports. This cup was decorated using a transfer-printing technique developed in the mid-eighteenth century. The technique allows for quicker decoration of ceramics. A design is inked on a copper plate after which it is transferred to the ceramic via either a sheet of paper or sheet of tacky glue. If glue is used, the colour is set on the ceramic using oil and metallic oxides. Regardless of the method used, firing fixes the design to the ceramic. Crosshatching from the copper engraving plate is usually evident on the ceramic as are misalignments if the design pattern did not fit properly. The majority of transfer-printing patterns are in blue. |
