| Description : | Several cups with a blue transfer print over a white background. There is a floral design around the exterior of each cup. A transfer was applied over the cup handle as well. The interior is printed with a blue floral border (same as exterior) and at the bottom of the cup is a landscape scene with a tomb monument in the foreground and a church in the left background. The interior of the saucers is transfer only. A floral border (the same as on the cups) surrounds a round landscape scene of a woman seated in the right foreground near a tomb monument. A church appears in the left background. The saucer bases are marked with a blue transfer printed cartouche and the following: "Monument Opaque China". |
| Fonctions : | English transferware" refers to ceramics (china, ironstone, etc.), which have been glazed using a specific decorative treatment and traditionally produced in Staffordshire, England. The transfer printing process was developed by John Sadler and Guy Green of Liverpool in 1756. The process uses copper plates on which a pattern or design is etched. The copper plate is inked and the pattern "transferred" to a special tissue. The inked tissue is then laid onto a bisque-fired ceramic item, which is then glazed and fired again. Initially, patterns were transferred to the ceramic items after glazing, but the ink often wore off. This "underprinting" is characteristic to transferware; if you look closely at a transferware item, you can often see where the transfer design ends. Prior to the development of transfer printing, only the most affluent English families could afford complete dinnerware sets, because every dish was carefully hand painted by an artisan and thus very expensive. Transfer printing allowed hundreds of sets of plateware to be produced in a fraction of the time and cost of their hand painted counterparts, and allowed middle-class families to have both utilitarian and decorative pieces for their homes.
