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

Subject: help with transferprint pattern id?
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
