Transferware Tableware – Amazing Porcelain Design Accents

Transferware ceramic pottery is a beautiful addition to any tableware collection and an extremely popular collector’s item. Transferware design techniques were first created in England during the 18th century as an alternative to hand painting designs on fine tableware pieces such as plates, cups, serving platters and bowls. An engraved copper plate is used to transfer ink designs onto the china pieces and then they are fired in a low temperature kiln.

Transferware dinnerware is a wonderful way to add vibrancy to your collection. The variety of patterns and colors gives you the opportunity to collect new pieces without needing to replace your original tableware. The most popular colors for transferware are blue and red but it is also available in brown and green. Designs can vary from simple country scenes to very ornate floral pattern and typically cover an entire piece. Multicolored transferware designs are also available and some also include gold leaf accents.

Transferware is produced today – allowing you to incorporate new transferware dishes into your pre-existing tableware collection. It is a simple way to add new detail and color onto your dining room table. Just remember to follow a few guidelines. First, remember that transferware (like any glass or ceramic tableware) is sensitive to extreme temperature changes and can break or crack when not properly cared for. Be sure to double check if the transferware you are ordering is microwave or dishwasher safe before use. Second, replace older or worn dishes with new transferware pieces to further incorporate your design. Note: you do not need to use the same pattern in all your transferware serving and dinnerware. The use of transferware will tie the look together for you.

Transferware plates, serving dishes, and other household items (such as vases, planters, tea sets, etc.) is ready available online as well as in several fine dinnerware catalogs. Search for ceramic construction and be sure to ask questions. When you begin to collect transferware you will find a wide variety of pieces complement each other nicely ad different combinations of colors and patterns will work together on your table. By using transferware you can easily transform your entire dining room table. Transferware tableware is available online through LookInTheAttic & Company and they also offer free assistance.

Can I paint a glazed porcelain figurine?

We found a cute ceramic figurine that suits our taste as a wedding souvenir. Unfortunately, it is made of white porcelain with blue color as the accent. I would like to know if I can paint the whole item in metallic gold to match our motiff. Will that be possible? If so what would be the best paint to use and what special preparations should be made? Your tips will be highly appreciated.

Right now spray paint is your best option… It will last for the wedding, but it wont last forever. Use a metalic spray paint, then put an acrilyic clear spray coat over that.
