Dear Barbara
I am part of a Facebook group that is purely set up to share knowledge 
of ceramics and patterns, they are very diverse in their knowledge, 
their page is https://www.facebook.com/groups/northernceramicsociety/   
They discuss British Ceramics and Porcelain. They discuss forms, 
patterns and makers. It is not a selling site just a tapping into 
knowledge pool.
                                                              cheers

Hi Hist Arch'ers,

I'm hoping someone on this list might recognize transfer print patterns 
for two whiteware sherds recovered from the December 2017 subsurface 
testing program at Cangdong Village, Guangdong Province, China. The 
sherds were found in deposits that date to ca. 1880s-1920s.

I've put photos of the two sherds in a dropbox folder for easy viewing:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/l5at5ggtwzciihs/AAAKYqa_ZyMAfOl6Mp7VtYgGa?dl=0

One sherd is from a bowl with a drapery-style exterior rim band 
treatment in blue transfer print.

The other sherd, also from a bowl, has exterior green transfer printed 
floral elements.

We have checked through the usual set of pattern reference books and 
have not come up with any matches. These are the only decorated 
whitewares in the assemblage (there are many other undecorated whiteware 
sherds) and so we are trying to get as much information about them as 
possible.

We have been really surprised to find British whitewares in the historic 
deposits of this rural village (which is located in a major porcelain- 
and stoneware-producing area, so the villagers did not lack for local 
sources of very nice ceramics!). Identifying specific transfer print 
patterns could be the first step towards refining the time periods 
during which these whitewares were being brought into local distribution 
networks.

Thanks in advance for any leads you all might be able to provide -
Barb
