Description
Lot of 4 assorted Red Transfer Underglaze Floral Plates.All from the Spode Collection. Jasmine, Poppy, Rosa and Blue Rose. Each approx 9.50 to 10. Late in the eighteenth century, chinaware from the Orient was becoming scarcer. Coupled with the fact that the outrageous tax on tea was significantly reduced, Britain needed new sources for their dinnerware needs. Josiah Spode answered the call.Underglaze printing is intricate, and remains much the same as it was centuries ago. A design is created on a piece of paper, and then carved onto a copper plate. It is heated with oxides to produce the blue color, and wiped clean of the excess. The pattern is then transferred to a piece of tissue paper, and the tissue is transferred to a blank ceramic piece. The piece is immersed in water so the tissue will float away, leaving the intricate pattern behind. The piece is then glazed and heated in a kiln, producing a finished product.
