Blue & White Transfer Ware
I
n the process I have learned about the industry, how blue and white transfer ware was produced and the different characteristics of the various manufacturers
For the serious collector or the enthusiastic amateur who wishes to learn more, the first step is to acquire books on the subject. The local library will have some to get you started but you really do need to have your own faithful collection to study and verify marks whenever you come across a new treasure.
I have my own small library that I have found invaluable, a list is included on the Book Page. If you can recomend a book which you think should be included please submit it for inclussion.

The earliest printed wares from about 1805 are of superb quality, eagerly collected for their craftsmanship and design. Those that were produced for the home market in Britain are now exported as Antiques.

It is interesting to note that the pottery industry along with copper plate and engraving was once considered the high-tech of the times.... Espionage is not the prerogative of the twentieth century. Many interesting books have been written on the remarkable lengths that were taken to protect the industries secrests.
