Description

The Transferware Collectors Club is a forum for sharing information and interests between collectors, dealers, scholars, historians and those who simply appreciate the beauty and technical proficiency of British transferware. The Club focuses on underglaze transfer printing on British pottery produced in the late-18th and 19th centuries. However, we are happy to extend our horizons for closely related wares. Wares made after 1900 are included if they relate directly to wares made before 1900. These might be designs which continued in production for some years or, more specifically, a series of designs which continued into the 20th century. As a general rule, new designs introduced after 1900 are only included in exceptional circumstances. The club concentrates on underglaze transfer printing. However, we also include overglaze printing (particularly the wide range of 18th century wares made before underglaze-printing became dominant). Bat-printing is also included. We appreciate all colors used in the transfer printing process. As a general rule we do NOT focus on wares where the transfer-printing is simply part of the decoration process and not its main component. To summarize, we concentrate on underglaze transfer printing on British pottery produced in the late-18th and 19th centuries, but we are happy to extend our horizons for closely related wares.
