Although early transfer print pottery is not something I work with very  
often, I have seen a black transfer print clobbered with red and mustard yellow  
pigmentation and associated with artifacts from the mid 19th century.

Hi  all,

The item in Williams book is part of the Dr. Syntax series by  Clews. It
comes in a medium blue. I have never seen any polychrome. Can you  send
me a digital picture of  it?

Thanks,

Tim

Hey  Kent,

There is a Harvest Home pattern by maker unknown in Petra  Williams' 
Staffordshire Romantic Transfer Patterns (1878:497) but it looks  like 
one of those pale blue prints from the pre-1840 period.

Do you  really mean your transferprint is "printed" in multiple colors 
or is it a  monochrome or bichrome print "clobbered" with additional 
painted  colors?
