Interestingly, and much to my surprise, Buffalo China produced a series
of Dr. Syntax polychrome dishes around c. 1900-1910 under the brand name
Deldare ware.  These have to be decals rather than transfer prints.

Mark.  At first glance it looked handpainted, but at close examination I
could identify the transfer printing stippling.  It is certainly
possible
that it started out as a monochrome then was given the color treatment
The
animal in the foreground is rendered in black and stands on green grass.

Two unidentifiable landmarks in the background are blue and mustard
yellow.
 Other artifacts recovered from this level included ab ironstone
rimsherd
with a molded Ceres or wheat pattern (ca. 1860's+) and an Osgood's India
Cholagogoue bottle produced in NY that indicates that it dates to the
1859+
period.
