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.

Spode Stone China Small Serving Dish in Ship Pattern 3068, circa 1810
By Spode
Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
This is a good small Serving Dish made of ironstone (Spode's Stone China) in the Ship Pattern, No 3068, produced by the English, Spode factory early in the 19th century, George 111rd Period. The pattern is called the Ship pattern number 3068, the chinoiserie decoration being transfer printed under-glaze, then very carefully hand painted in bold colored enamels with additional gilding over-glaze. As is usual with Spode ware the standard of hand painted detail is very high. A plate in this pattern is shown on page 54 of Steven Smith's book; "Spode and Copeland" published by Schiffer. The pattern is in the Chinese taste as produced by many of the English potteries of the time, to compete directly with the large import of Canton or Chinese Export porcelain from China. The dish has a mid brown edge similar to that often seen on Chinese plates. It is fully marked to the base, with the earlier Spode black printed Stone-China mark...
