Someone once told me that in the 19th century it was probably cheaper to give a ceramic gift of a plate or mug with a loving message than one printed on paper like the ubiquitous paper greeting cards we give and receive today (this statement is uncorroborated). While looking at my collection, I focused on two shell edge plates and one mug from the early 19th century that had the text sandwiched between children who were playing. I saw that some of the same figures appeared in more than one item. Notice the boy with the hoop on the plate on the left also appears on the mug. The girl playing with the cat on the right-hand plate is also on the mug, minus the cat. I did wonder if this repetition was a way of keeping cost down. I went to my favorite book on children's pottery, Noel Riley's 1991 book "Gifts For Good Children." I learned that this type of decoration is called a stock block, as the manufacturer would already have the figures available to surround the words of the buyer. Riley says on p. 248 (990) that this type of print "illustrates the use of a <span class="highlight">stock</span> <span class="highlight">block</span> with a cut-out central section allowing different inscriptions to be inserted." </p><p>Below are a few more photos of stock block patterns. It appears that you could have any short message.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikKZuA1hMHCMnjiflNsSVMHudOPXQzPdKcvU_yQR84PvrVWTMuWF5yLcZe5ZxendFQIhZKYkVzzzeMAK9buc1DTnM1uprf2kr8seOzulwFbR2iP0ihaOdjQ7ON1QphE9Pz_JUQsJeIIYCi8pZzbQxe3PKFxAOjCvgpYJkUwbP5nPm7QELzTY9fMC-SEA/s790/A%20Pledge%20of%20Esteem.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="746" data-original-width="790" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikKZuA1hMHCMnjiflNsSVMHudOPXQzPdKcvU_yQR84PvrVWTMuWF5yLcZe5ZxendFQIhZKYkVzzzeMAK9buc1DTnM1uprf2kr8seOzulwFbR2iP0ihaOdjQ7ON1QphE9Pz_JUQsJeIIYCi8pZzbQxe3PKFxAOjCvgpYJkUwbP5nPm7QELzTY9fMC-SEA/w400-h378/A%20Pledge%20of%20Esteem.png" width="400" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu2tCcbyR6PZ38LbaPVVCgxEA5o8EqJnmrJ4BxK9x_dRegaVh3X-Zsg1bwnJLUAQkdaHXP_b2Lm6NRz8PjXMpPcsx0ts7P4H1LgqpSyLkAP5iiK2mxYgkk91GLNz6hY8Vr2Uyfhfu1gyGjb3AmOg-oywhYMFOBn5KfbBiawX1hoLpe0EKcmW_GBgPnnA/s1113/A%20Present%20for%20My%20Neice.jpeg"><img border="0" data-original-height="1113" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu2tCcbyR6PZ38LbaPVVCgxEA5o8EqJnmrJ4BxK9x_dRegaVh3X-Zsg1bwnJLUAQkdaHXP_b2Lm6NRz8PjXMpPcsx0ts7P4H1LgqpSyLkAP5iiK2mxYgkk91GLNz6hY8Vr2Uyfhfu1gyGjb3AmOg-oywhYMFOBn5KfbBiawX1hoLpe0EKcmW_GBgPnnA/w360-h400/A%20Present%20for%20My%20Neice.jpeg" width="360" /></a></div><br /></div>The stock block was also used for Sunday School gifts.

They contain all of the 327 Dishy News posts that I have written since 2013. I had no idea you could transform your blog posts into paper books until a recent visit to our friends Mark and Sandra. Mark showed us two books he had made from blog posts of his visit to India. I was surprised at how well the books were formatted, as well as the quality of the paper and color. The company that Mark used was <a href="https://pixxibook.com/">PixxiBook</a>. I hoped PixxiBook wouldn't be too difficult to use, but the hardest thing I had to do was pick the colors of the covers!</p><p>I thought I'd show you how some of the posts look in the books. I hope you get an idea of the size of the books, 12 inches by 8.5 inches, and the excellent color of the pictures.</p><p> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii6035wm6jufke6tJfs3gvfHavL2H3Xcvp69Vhj4-FpdB4hAe3ZGVfZd1Fcn_EdNoaDH-KJgAg50CxZ-dFgYDk-Wcm_CPl-BRoYKG0JYHh3QrrfUByfOiT0vAUqpZh8IDKKBiW30gQAO4V/s1000/Dish1.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii6035wm6jufke6tJfs3gvfHavL2H3Xcvp69Vhj4-FpdB4hAe3ZGVfZd1Fcn_EdNoaDH-KJgAg50CxZ-dFgYDk-Wcm_CPl-BRoYKG0JYHh3QrrfUByfOiT0vAUqpZh8IDKKBiW30gQAO4V/w640-h480/Dish1.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9MxcYfkqNM4VyI158nJmE2F8XU9J9k98WIurJwLKGJz4UCH65nBIMpY86FdYG16FNmWnxOmsuiRxco1mmE5C1k0d_p1YXf3JN9rTPPWxmCAH_EMUI3LwJ0xGLlrmReGD7-EMlNFEHjDHt/s1000/Dish+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9MxcYfkqNM4VyI158nJmE2F8XU9J9k98WIurJwLKGJz4UCH65nBIMpY86FdYG16FNmWnxOmsuiRxco1mmE5C1k0d_p1YXf3JN9rTPPWxmCAH_EMUI3LwJ0xGLlrmReGD7-EMlNFEHjDHt/w640-h480/Dish+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK94C-w5_8FpHElH-qKsxwgJCQYMebvIk_wxUtor9cfn_xG_nYeZb3fDhY-RDJv_UKVTQTv9hZRigA2H0RFLbEohPRN776RoyaZhYAWC514WAAxa7jUHGlsqP6QOifkuJa3PWBO0RYhyphenhyphensz/s1000/Dish3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK94C-w5_8FpHElH-qKsxwgJCQYMebvIk_wxUtor9cfn_xG_nYeZb3fDhY-RDJv_UKVTQTv9hZRigA2H0RFLbEohPRN776RoyaZhYAWC514WAAxa7jUHGlsqP6QOifkuJa3PWBO0RYhyphenhyphensz/w640-h480/Dish3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>You may wonder why I chose to make hard copies of my blog posts.

learned that everything is ephemeral, so I treated PixxiBook like

Mark showed us two books he had made from blog posts of his visit to India. I was surprised at how well the books were formatted, as well as the quality of the paper and color. The company Mark used was <a href="https://pixxibook.com/">PixxiBook</a>. I hoped PixxiBook wouldn't be difficult to use, but the hardest thing I had to do was pick the colors of the covers!</div><p>I thought I'd show you how some of the posts look in the books.

I thought the pattern had something to do with the use of a dancing bear as entertainment, but I wasn't sure until I did a bit of research. Dancing bears were a form of street entertainment in Europe and Asia from the Middle Ages and, in some countries, into the 21st century. I'll add that bear dancing was outlawed in Britain in 1911. You can imagine that training a bear had to be horrific, similar to training any wild animal. I won't go into details, but if you want to know more about the history of bears as entertainment, here is an excellent website titled <a href="http://www.bearconservation.org.uk/dancing-bears/">Dancing Bears</a>. Notice that the group of people on the left look more frightened than amused. Also notice that the animal on the bear's head is a monkey. I assume the monkey's whip was more for show that punishment. </p><p>I found another small plate that features Bear Dancing. This one is titled.

There is a fox beneath the tree. The story is one of Aesop's Fables, but it is also told in the "Nun's Priest's Tale" in Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales." In Chaucer, the cock's favorite hen, Partelote, accuses him of cowardice because he is frightened by a bad dream. When a fox comes calling, the cock decides to show the hen that he is fearless, so he flies down to greet the fox. The fox flatters the cock by telling him he has the most beautiful voice. When the cock stretches his neck and closes his eyes to sing, the fox grabs him by the throat and runs off! Partelote and the other hens arouse the farmer and his wife, who give chase. However, the cock sees that they will never reach him in time. Reacting well under extreme pressure, the cock flatters the fox by suggesting that he should stop and tell the farmer and his wife that they will never catch him.

I didn't post about him because his death seemed irrelevant at the beginning of the Covid-19 Pandemic. In the midst of all the chaos and human deaths, it seemed wrong for me to mourn a cat. </p><p>I have had many months to think about what it means for me to mourn Percy. He was the second of three loses, sandwiched between my beloved friend Dora at the end of January and my beloved mother-in-law at the end of September. I did post about their deaths. It was important that friends and relatives were informed. I even wrote a Dishy News post about <a href="https://dishynews.blogspot.com/2020/01/dora-landey-1936-2020.html">Dora</a>. <br /></p><p>So, here is a post for Percy Big Cat. Constant companion. Giver of love bites and kisses. Spreader of huge amount of fur. Winner of the loudest purrs! Lover of pottery!

"Antony and Cleopatra" seemed apt, as Darla was as beautiful and as flamboyant as the Queen of the Nile. The handwriting is John Siddall's. His handwriting was much better than mine. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I have the needlepoint picture now, as Darla's daughter gave it to me when Darla died in 2010. (John died in 1981.) This one little piece of needlework is a memory of two of the people I loved so much. I'll add that they loved me too.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Who was Darla?

David and I thought we'd take a detour through my old neighborhood, where I lived in the 1970s. In front of my old house, there appeared a dog and two people. When I said that I used to live in their house, they treated us like old friends. (They would have welcomed us into the house, but Covid-19 prevented this.) We talked about neighbors we both knew, gardens, Palo Alto, and their dog. I thought the dog was a beagle, but I learned she was a foxhound. The old saying about a "light bulb going off in your head" actually happened to me! My brain went immediately to a dark blue transferware series known as the "Hunting Series." It mainly features scenes from a fox hunt. The dogs looked like beagles with long legs, but I realized they were foxhounds.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTDL_cvzIrPLz575TVTXgawi7c2IN8_d16swCF1EbCSnT8oumsgz2qVDtLa-YeqC3EsiMpTiHdxICdpUrlz1qnSSVltCPXmytOAhOeCkAUeg_QqwwuHHoiDuSf9f57t4JThZbpcLLUUnvZ/s600/The+start.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="486" data-original-width="600" height="324" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTDL_cvzIrPLz575TVTXgawi7c2IN8_d16swCF1EbCSnT8oumsgz2qVDtLa-YeqC3EsiMpTiHdxICdpUrlz1qnSSVltCPXmytOAhOeCkAUeg_QqwwuHHoiDuSf9f57t4JThZbpcLLUUnvZ/w400-h324/The+start.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hunting Series 16.25 inch platter known as Fox Hunt - The Start<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijsQ5rn4C34-TKAVBwbJmxJn7a3gXySoO2A_1LL0hB3eGAquCuY9AZEZjA7ufD3WJ5O5OHgkWhipsXbIT0PgUp9iU_7f0y3MWOk02b5WlyvAtqaHXVRG5bTfIGE6U6SyURrfSZ6E3zmsGP/s599/In+full+cry+hunting2-ptn.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="488" data-original-width="599" height="326" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijsQ5rn4C34-TKAVBwbJmxJn7a3gXySoO2A_1LL0hB3eGAquCuY9AZEZjA7ufD3WJ5O5OHgkWhipsXbIT0PgUp9iU_7f0y3MWOk02b5WlyvAtqaHXVRG5bTfIGE6U6SyURrfSZ6E3zmsGP/w400-h326/In+full+cry+hunting2-ptn.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hunting Series 14.6 inch platter known as Fox Hunting - In Full Cry<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>There are thirteen patterns from this series in the <a href="www.transcollectorsclub.org">Transferware Collectors Club </a>database.

I recently entered a sauce boat pattern into the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/www.transcollectorsclub.org">Transferware Collectors Club</a> database. It featured a reindeer, and was part of Enoch Wood & Sons (1818-1846) dinner service known as the Sporting Series. <br />

The Sporting Series is one of my favorites. For a lover of animals, what could be better than a dinner service that shows a different animal on nearly each size and shape? I put a question mark at the end of the previous sentence, but I really didn't need to. There seemed to be a lot of items from this series in the database. I counted, and found there are thirty-eight different patterns! The Sporting Series may be the series with the most patterns in the entire database. Or, the most patterns of any transferware series. </div>

<br />
The dog looked so much like my sister's beloved golden retriever. However, I learned that the breed didn't exist in 1825. (I love learning new things because of my study of transferware patterns.) I have owned my Setter soup plate since 1977, but I found another to give my sister for her birthday. <br />
<br />
I have shown you four patterns from this series. If you want to see more patterns, search Sporting Series in the TCC database (TCC members only), or the free online exhibit "<a href="http://printedbritishpotteryandporcelain.com/what-did-they-make/series-types/sporting-series-enoch-wood-sons">Printed British Pottery & Porcelain 1750-1900</a>."<br />
<br />
One last thing. Here's a few of the Sporting Series patterns in a private home. Wish they were mine!<br />

I love the saying on this pot and mug, "No handicraft can With our art compare/We make our pots of What we potters are," so I wanted to know more about
it. It is obvious what the saying means, but I wondered about its
genesis. I thought it might be Biblical, as the relationship between clay, God and humans appears in Genesis, but the best I could discover is that this is an old potters' saying.
On the few items I have found, the wording is similar, but the word
handycraft is spelled in different ways.<br />

<br />
I saw this small mug at an antiques fair many years ago. I liked the horse, but liked the text, "Present from New York," even more. When I was a child, I was used to getting glass flamingos from my grandparents when they visited Florida, or a box of salt water taffy when they returned from Atlantic City. However, they never brought me a pearlware mug that said "Present from Miami Beach." I wondered if there was a mug that said "Present from Philadelphia," which is my home town. I did find a Philadelphia mug, but unfortunately, it wasn't for sale.<br />

I have found three cities and two states, although Carolina could be either North Carolina or South Carolina.

Do you know of any?<br />

Notwithstanding the title of this blog, we (Judie and David) are not going to discuss the current health emergency. We are only going to say that we hope all of our transferware friends are staying healthy and are following expert advice, in particular, isolate and stay at home if at all possible! And, wash your hands!<br />
<br />
But we do want to tell you about what we are doing while we isolate. As previously disclosed (see the March 2020 post), we were recently in India (our trip ended on March 4, just in the nick of time). We are truly thankful we were able to make the trip, one of those "once in a lifetime" events, although perhaps we will be fortunate enough to return. Also, as previously disclosed in the earlier post, we visited the extraordinary <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junagarh_Fort">Junagarh Fort</a> in Bikaner, west Rajasthan, where we observed early to mid-19th century English transferware attached (literally plastered) to both interior and exterior walls at four locations.<br />
<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
A number of our 13 member group photographed the transferware. We had little time and poor lighting conditions, and one of the four locations is high on a wall, with most of the transferware at least 15 to 20 feet above the adjacent ground. So the images are less than perfect. But, nevertheless, we were able to document the displays.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
But now, the real work has begun, and this is how the Coronavirus gets involved. We are utilizing our enforced isolation to identify as many of the transferware patterns as we can. It's a challenge, particularly as the pieces range from nearly whole to only a small part of the original piece. (It's a bit like doing a jigsaw puzzle.) All the items are flatware of some sort, primarily drainers, but also plates and platters. A few of the patterns are just a maker's mark or other symbols. There are no indications that any of the pieces are tiles.<br />

Thus far, we (with help from others) have identified 91patterns. We have at least 15 to 20 yet unidentified. There is some notable overlap of patterns between the three primary locations (the fourth location, which we call the Blue Room, has a large volume of Willow, but little else in terms of transferware, although it demonstrates exquisite Indian tiles, sculpture, and painting). The patterns include a large variety of pattern categories and makers, as well as age of production. Included in the 91 so far identified patterns (primarily transferware) are three Chinese export drainers, and we also have two painted creamware patterns, not yet identified.<br />

Well, we can't help one little connection between Coronavirus and transferware. And it is minimal, to say the least. We searched the <a href="http://www.transcollectorsclub.org/">Transferware Collectors Club</a> Database of Patterns and Sources for patterns which exhibited illness in humans (thus the Coronavirus connection). The current database count is 16, 232 (April 14, 2020). We found just one pattern "Virginia Attending the Sick." There are a few related subjects (mainly death), and a number whose subject is hospitals (but these are primarily actual historical buildings). And, there are a few showing sick animals. Our meager findings are shown below. <br />

<br />
I met Dora in 1993 because a friend gave me a copy of a magazine that had an article about transferware. She said the pictures reminded her of the pottery I had in my house. I called the phone number at the end of the article, which was for Dora Landey Antiques. I thought I would buy a few pieces of tranferware, but from the moment I spoke to Dora we bonded over our lives more than pottery: children, husbands, animals, the East Coast and much more. Our friendship was immediate and deep. (I've always believed that a close friendship can begin like a love affair.) We spoke often on the phone before we met in person in the summer of 1994 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Since 1994, we saw each other nearly every year, even though we were separated by the continent between New York and California.<br />
<br />
Dora's loves were many, but she loved her family most of all: daughters Yummy, Nina, and Anna, and her six grandchildren. She also loved her friends, her dogs (she had five when I first visited her her), her house (a wonderful old farmhouse), and her blue pottery. Dora started her business, Dora Landey Antiques, in the late '80s or early '90s. She sold in shops and at shows, and continued to sell blue pottery from Ruby Lane Antiques and on eBay until her untimely death on January 25, 2020.<br />

Dora lived her life fully. She stayed in her own house, enjoyed her family and friends, and sold transferware until a few days before her death. We should all be so lucky.<br />

I really like learning new things from transferware patterns. I recently purchased a small plate that features a man with one leg asking for charity from a stout man who refuses him. The bubbles above them say: "Please to bestow your Charity" and "Friend I have it not." The title of the pattern is "Self Accusation."* The eBay dealer from whom I purchased the plate included a copy of the source print, which greatly aided in understanding the pattern. The source print is also titled: "Self Accusation," and the subtitle, not seen here, is: "A Quaker outside a meeting house refuses charity to an amputee." Notice the words "Meeting House" on the building, which indicate a Quaker house of worship. <br />

Even before seeing the source print, I wasn't surprised that the stout man was a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quakers">Quaker</a> as his hat and dress resembled the clothing of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Penn">William Penn</a>, a man whose image was everywhere in Pennsylvania where I grew up. William Penn, as you may remember, was the Quaker who founded the colony of Pennsylvania (Latin for Penn's Woods). Pennsylvania became the home of many Quakers seeking religious freedom.<br />

I think the print, both on paper and on pottery, shows not so subtle prejudice against English Quakers. They were disliked because they had different religious and other beliefs; they had no priest or ministers, and they refused to fight in wars. Perhaps they were also disliked because some were successful in business. The prejudice is not unlike that against the English Jews. The Jews also practiced a different religion, although they were not adverse to military service. Read about the history of the Jews in England<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_England"> here</a>.<br />

"The Jews Hobby" is part of a series that pokes fun at the new, in the early 19th century, craze of hobby riding (similar to a bicycle, but without pedals). However, the man with the hooked nose looks to me like a caricature that would have been at home in Nazi Germany. I have written about this pattern before. See "<a href="https://dishynews.blogspot.com/2013/06/caricature-and-humor-on-transferware-or.html">Caricature and Humor on Transferware or Prejudice?</a>"<br />
<br />
I digress. So, what did I learn from the transferware patterns above? These small inexpensive plates with molded borders, usually associated with children's patterns, were sometimes used to feature political cartoons. Some could also spread prejudice. <br />
<br />
*What does "self accusation" mean? It means an admission of misdeeds or faults, usually stemming from feelings of guilt.<br />

I have written about this cup before. I thought it was a <a href="https://dishynews.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-grandmothers-gift-and-transferware.html">posset cup</a>, but now I think it is a porringer.* I have read that the porringer evolved from the posset cup, and that they were very similar. The main difference is that a posset cup usually has a cover while the porringer usually does not. That said, the small size of the cup, 2.5 inches high by 2.5 inches in diameter, suggests an ornamental gift or token rather than one intended for use. It was probably given by a loving grandmother to celebrate the birth of a grandchild. Or, perhaps, a gift for a Christening. <br />

Here's another pot with the same message, "A Grandmothers (sic) Gift," as the first cup I showed you. The shape, however, is like a miniature potty! As it is only 2.5 inches high by 1.75 inches in diameter, it was not intended to be used as a real potty. Instead, it is a humorous gift or token.<br />

But, is it a porringer? No. However, it is a gift from a loving grandmother.<br />
<br />
I have shown you the photo below in another post, "<a href="https://dishynews.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-grandmothers-gift-and-transferware.html">A Grandmother's Gift and Transferware</a>." I am just adding it here so you can see the porringer with a plate and a mug. The message transcends shape and size. Does it really matter if the shape is a mug, a plate, a porringer, a posset cup, or a potty? Or, does it matter if it is intended for use? <br />

I thought this small item, 1.75 inches high, was a napkin ring. I did
some research and discovered that it is called an egg hoop or egg
ring. The opening at one end is larger than the other end to
accommodate both large and small eggs. </div>

Is an egg cup the same as an egg hoop? I have written about <a href="https://dishynews.blogspot.com/2013/09/transferware-egg-cups-and-stand.html">egg cups </a>in a previous post. Take a look at the post to find out.<br />

Did you know that July 18th is National Sturgeon Day? As I have said many times, there is a national day for nearly everything. What is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon">sturgeon</a>? It is a fish that is known for its roe or eggs that we call <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caviar">caviar</a> (this caviar link is really interesting). The pot above was designed to hold caviar for <a href="https://www.wgwhite.co.uk/about-us.html">W.G. White, London,</a> around 1900 (the company is still in business). The pot was returnable (to be refilled), which may be why it has survived the dust bin. Also, because it is so pretty. Is it transferware? I am not sure. It may be a decal transfer rather than the more time consuming copper plate to tissue to pottery process that is responsible for most of the transferware written about in "Dishy News." To learn more about the transferware process see my <a href="https://dishynews.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-potters-art-plates-and-copper-plate.html">"The Potters' Art"</a> post.<br />

The pot below advertises caviar sold by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortnum_%26_Mason">Fortnum & Mason</a> in the 20th century. It was transfer printed at the Cauldon factory (1905-1920), although it may have been made by a later incarnation of this company. Notice the handsome sturgeon.<br />

<br />
One of my favorite transferware patterns is "The Milkmaid." To me it embodies 19th century rural England. Probably more myth than reality. The pattern was popular, and it was made by many factories. For example, the <a href="http://www.transcollectorsclub.org/">Transferware Collectors Club</a> database shows 15 milkmaid patterns made by different manufacturers. In no particular order, I'll show you a few. All have a milkmaid, a cow, and usually some other animals nearby. And, some of the patterns are more realistic than others. <br />

It's a bit of a stretch, but the above teapot could be added to my post <a href="https://dishynews.blogspot.com/2015/08/recognition-of-familiar-and.html">"Recognition of the Familiar and Transferware Cows."</a><br />
<br />
It would be interesting to chart the similarities and differences between all of the patterns. Perhaps someone will offer to do it! One more thing. Let me know if you have a milkmaid pattern that I haven't included in this post. <br />

When I was a child in the 1950s, my grandparents brought me a pink glass flamingo from Florida. The base of this gift said "Greetings From Miami Beach." They knew I'd like this pink souvenir. I did like it, but I loved that they thought of me when they were far away. Now that I'm a grandmother, I think about my grandchildren when I am away from home. I recently brought them stuffed bison from North Dakota and red money boxes from London. I don't know when souvenir giving became popular, but I imagine it is an ancient custom. The word "souvenir" means "to remember" in French. It is from Latin "subvenire" which means "occur to the mind." <br />
<br />
I digress as usual, but I have been leading up to showing you souvenirs from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staffordshire_Potteries">Staffordshire Potteries</a>. The souvenirs from the Potteries did two things; they not only reminded children that they were remembered (and loved), but they also advertised the Potteries and their wares. Below are a few early 19th century souvenirs from the Potteries.<br />

The item below is not from the early 19th century. It is a coaster that was made for members of the <a href="http://www.transcollectorsclub.orb/">Transferware Collectors Club </a>who attended the TCC meeting in England in 2015. Notice that it is the same pattern as the 19th century plate at the top of the page. I use it everyday. It sits on my desk and usually holds a cup of coffee. It always reminds me of the Staffordshire Potteries and the excellent <a href="https://dishynews.blogspot.com/2015/11/the-tcc-england-tour-2015-part-three.html">2015 TCC meeting. </a></div>

<br />
My youngest grandson asked if we could make cookies together. He had some Australian animal cookie cutters that he wanted to use for the first time. I rarely, if ever, turn down a request from a grandchild, but this meant I couldn't make the simple drop cookies I usually do. The ones that take no talent or time (at least for me). I looked online for the best cookie dough recipe for cookie cutters. I soon learned that cookie dough needed to be refrigerated ahead of time so it would be easy to roll and cut. At least an hour or two. My grandson is five, so I made the dough the night before his visit. I practiced rolling and cutting the next morning, so that I could avoid any difficulties. I needn't have worried. I channeled my Bubby, Fanny (Faiga) Berenson (1882-1960). Really, it was nearly as if she had taken over my hands! Bubby, who lived with us, made cookies every week. I always helped her. My hands remembered rolling, cutting, folding the extra dough, and rolling again.<br />
<br />
I digress. As this is a transferware blog, I'll show you how I served
and displayed the nearly 100 cookies Joey and I made. You may wonder
what happened to the Australian animals we cut out with his cookie
cutters. He ate one, and took the rest home to his mom and dad. Below, you'll just see round cookies. (I used a glass to cut them, like my Bubby did.)<br />

Did I mention that I learned about transferware from my Bubby? She lived in London at the turn of the 20th century, where she enjoyed finding pieces of blue and white pottery at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petticoat_Lane_Market">Petticoat Lane</a> markets. She loved her Willow plates, so I have shown you an early Willow cheese stand. <br />
<br />
One more thing. I used Bubby's rolling pin to roll out the cookie dough. I only wish I had her cookie recipe. It wasn't written down. Let me know if you have a good sugar cookie recipe that you are willing to share.<br />

"The Sower" child's 3.5 inch teapot, ca. 1820*</div>
<br />
<br />
I recently purchased a very damaged small teapot with "The Sower" on one side and "The Reaper" on the other. I have long been interested in these patterns because I have entered so many in the database of the <a href="http://www.transcollectorsclub.org/">Transferware Collectors Club</a>. They are part of a series titled "The Progress of the Quartern Loaf." There are six different patterns: the Ploughman, The Sower, The Thrasher, The Reaper, The Miller, and The Baker. All are in the <a href="http://www.transcollectorsclub.org/">Transferware Collectors Club</a> Database of Patterns and Sources. <br />
<br />
The patterns are based on illustrations* that accompany the poem "The Progress of the Quartern Loaf"* by Mary (Belson) Elliott (ca.1794-c.1870). The poem describes the labor involved in the genesis of a loaf of bread from the preparation of the earth by the ploughman to the making of the bread by the baker. <br />

There are 17 "Progress of the Quartern Loaf" patterns by many different makers in the TCC database. I think the popularity of the series is due to the importance of bread as a staple of the 19th century diet. The plates were made at a time when the <a href="http://dishynews.blogspot.com/2018/03/transferware-and-19th-century-british.html">Corn Laws </a>made the import of grain from Europe and elsewhere too expensive. Many people starved. I wonder if the poem was a subtle reference to the unpopular law. Just a guess. The law was repealed in 1846. <br />
<br />
One more thing. The poem and patterns usually appear on children's plates and mugs, but I own 9.25 inch plates printed with four of the patterns surrounded by a Canova border! They all are marked Canova and have the initials J T. I'd love to hear some of your thoughts as to maker and owner.<br />

Lo</div>
I have owned this coffee pot for a long time. The name assigned to the pattern by <a href="http://www.fob.org.uk/">Friends of Blue</a> is "Polishing A Cow." In the database of the <a href="http://www.transcollectorsclub.org/">Transferware Collector Club</a>, it is called "Cow Polisher." I thought a more common American name would be cow groomer. However, the more I looked at the pattern and thought about it, I wondered about the item in the boy's hand. Perhaps it is a comb or brush, but I can't see any evidence of teeth or bristles. Also, notice how the boy is holding the item. If there were bristles or comb teeth, he might have his hand on them. The item looks more like a saucer or bowl. Maybe the boy has used the saucer to drink the milk that is in the bucket. The boy is leaning over the cow and petting her. Perhaps he is thanking her for the milk.<br />
<br />
The pattern is popular, and it was made by more than one manufacturer. A sugar bowl pictured in the Friends Of Blue Bulletin 105, p. 9 is impressed "Shorthose & C" for Shorthose & Co. (1817-1822). The TCC database also lists the pattern above as made by Shorthose. However, a cup and saucer on the Facebook page "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/northernceramicsociety/">British Pottery and Porcelain Discussion Group</a>" on January 11, 2019 shows a slight variation of the pattern. The boy appears thinner and more finely drawn, there are no bushes behind him, and there is a large tree to his left. <br />

I always find it interesting to see what different manufacturers did with the same pattern, but I am more interested in what the boy is doing with the cow. Is he grooming her? Or is he drinking her milk? Let me know what you think.<br />
<br />
Do people actually groom cows? Of course. I found many videos of<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8Z6ASeRRHU"> cow grooming </a>on YouTube. <br />
<br />
And one more photo found for me by Susan. Thanks!<br />
