Transferware refers to a style of ceramics, particularly pottery and porcelain, that became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. The technique involves transferring a decorative design from an engraved copper plate onto a special tissue paper, which is then applied to the ceramic surface before firing. This method allowed for the mass production of intricate and detailed patterns, making decorative pieces more affordable and accessible to a broader audience.
The transferware process typically involves the following steps:
1) Engraving the Copper Plate: Skilled artisans create intricate designs on a copper plate by incising the image into the metal. These designs often feature scenes, landscapes, or other decorative motifs.
2) Inking the Plate: The engraved copper plate is then coated with ink. The ink settles into the incised lines, creating a detailed representation of the design.
3) Transferring the Design: A sheet of tissue paper is carefully pressed onto the inked plate, and the design is transferred from the plate to the paper. The tissue paper now carries the design in reverse.
4) Applying the Design to Ceramics: The tissue paper is carefully placed onto the surface of the ceramic object, such as a plate, mug, or bowl. The inked design transfers from the paper to the ceramic.
5) Firing the Ceramic: The ceramic object is fired in a kiln to set the transferred design permanently onto the surface. This makes the piece durable and suitable for everyday use.
Transferware became particularly popular during the 19th century, with Staffordshire, England, being a significant center of production. Blue and white transferware, featuring blue designs on a white background, is one of the most well-known types. The designs often depict pastoral scenes, historical events, or classical motifs.
Transferware items were produced in large quantities, making them affordable for a wide range of consumers. The technique revolutionized the ceramics industry and played a role in the democratization of decorative arts during the Industrial Revolution. Today, transferware pieces are collectible and valued for their historical significance and craftsmanship.Manufacturers include Enoch Wood, Royal Staffordshire, Royal Crownford, Spode, Johnson Brothers, and many more.
