Two Color Transferware is unique and harder to find, but well worth the hunt. Early multicolored transferware was achieved by the labor intensive process known as clobbering, or in easy terms -hand-painting applied over the glaze. However, in 1848, an advanced technique allowed three colors to be applied in a single transfer with only one firing. Occasionally, two or three shades, other combinations were also used.
There are no mult- colored plates in this picture, but it is a fantasic illustration of how to mix and patch patterns and colors. - Photo Credit Maples Auction
