plate depicts the art of “Printing” (TCC Database Pattern ID#7883); the other depicts the art of “Transfering” (Pattern ID #9265).
No. 2: A Large William Adams “Columbia” Platter
An impressively-sized medium blue transfer-printed platter, 17.625
inches x 13.875 inches, in the "Columbia" pattern by William
Adams IV and Sons, c. 1840 -1861. This Romantic pattern,
which proved to be very popular, was produced on table wares
by William Adams IV and Sons and subsequent Adams firms.
Vessels of different sizes in this pattern had different central
images. Other examples of this pattern may be found in the TCC
database, with detailed information contained in “Columbia” #01 (Pattern ID #8335).

2016 Annual Meeting Raffle - October 23-26, 2016
No. 4: A Signed Copy of “Transfer Printed Medical & Toilet Wares—1780 - 1850”
with Representative Vessel
A signed copy of the newly-released book by TCC member Richard Halliday “Transfer Printed
Medical and Toilet Wares 1780-1850.” As a grant recipient of the 2015 Paul and Gladys Richards Foundation Research Grant Program, Halliday proposed the production of a book devoted
specifically and comprehensively to transfer printed medical and toilet wares. This new publication is the culmination of his TCC-funded research and writing endeavor. Accompanying the
book will be a representative transfer-printed example of toilet ware!
No. 5: An Early Pearlware Mug with
Oriental and Egyptian Motifs
A lightly potted pearlware mug, 4.5 inches high and 4.25 inches in diameter, printed in underglaze blue with a brown-enameled edge on the rim and handle. The
unmarked mug has a rather enigmatic design which combines Oriental and Egyptian motifs in a wrap-around pattern with a Greek key-pattern border, thus it has
been given the TCC assigned name of Chinoiserie with Egyptian Motifs. The pattern is documented in the TCC database (Pattern ID #744).
No. 6: Aesthetic Period Transferware Quartet in the “Hawthornden” Pattern
An appealing and decorative Aesthetic period transferware quartet of items in the “Hawthornden” pattern, to include: a tea kettle,
a gravy boat, a tureen, and a salad plate. The stylized sheet pattern is transfer-printed in brown with hawthorn flowers. The TCC
pattern record (ID #11151) indicates that it was registered on April
15, 1880 by Ridgways. However,
this same pattern was in already
use by a previous firm, Ridgway,
Sparks and Ridgway in the 1870’s.
No. 7: A Pair of Spode
“Trophies Etruscan” Plates
No. 8: Transferware Book Trio
Three reference books authored and donated
by TCC members sure to add value to a transferware collector’s library: 1) Transfer Printed
Medical and Toilet Wares 1780-1850 by Richard Halliday as described above. 2) The Charm
of English Pink by Margie Williams, highlighting
the plethora of pink transferware produced
during Romantic era: patterns, potteries and
potters. 3) Frank Beardmore: A Potter’s Tale by
Judith and Richard Wagner which documents
the histories of Beardmore's personal life and
that of the Sutherland Pottery factory.
A pair of richly-colored
SPODE plates, 9.75 inches, in
the Trophies Etruscan pattern,
each containing both printed
and impressed maker’s marks,
and painted number 4200. The
plates are transfer-printed in
blue and overpainted with colorful enamels. A blue-printed
version of this pattern, introduced by Spode in 1825, is
recorded in the TCC database
(Pattern ID #1928).
