Transfer printed dishes. If you have been to my house you will see my kitchen walls are mostly covered by antique dishes, as well as the open-faced cabinets above my sink. They range in date from the 1820s to the early 1900s. Recently I have acquired some new pieces and decided to research them and collect some data on all of them.
The earlier transfer prints are often "Romantic" scenes which could include view incorporating Chinese, Arab, Classical, or Countryside scenes. These were popular up into the 1870s.

Transfer printed vessels were created by placing thin pieces of paper onto inked plates which had designs on them. Some of the designs were copied from prints found in books, others were created by artists employed by the ceramic manufacturers. Most vessels have a central scene with a separate design around the rim.
