Temba is our modern inspired collection of transferware. Cream crackle porcelain is the background for the process of using a decal in color with the neutral background of ceramics. The process was originally done in England in the mid-18th century to transfer or copy from an engraved copper plate Chinese patterned designs which were popular at the time. Transferware was a way to bring the look of expensive hand painted pottery and dinnerware to the middle class in England. Collectors around the world embrace the useful dinnerware, platters and graphic pottery of transferware. Often transferware celebrates important buildings, pastoral scenes, animals and flowers. Our collection marries modern shapes, floral motifs and architectural details. The Temba Box is: 7"H x 8"W x 7"D. Materials: porcelain

Chinese designs came to England and her colonies with the tea trade. In the 1760's Virginia's governor ordered "bamboo chairs" for this Williamsburg "palace". Williamsburg cabinetmaker Edmund Dickinson owned a copy of Chippendales Director, the most fashionable furniture pattern book of the 1750's and 1760's. When he died fighting for the American cause in the Revolution, his Director was worth as much as his "new rifle gun".
As part of the WILLIAMSBURG for PORT 68 collection, Bamboo Trellis celebrates Chippendale in bright meadow green-on-cream porcelain. The pattern was inspired by the dining room chairs in the Governors Palace.
