The invention of impression of transfer on porcelain and pottery was, doubtless, one of the most of the important innovations in the industry development in ceramic.

The honor of this development goes to the English engraver, Robert Hancock, been born in Birmingham (1730-1817). We meet first Robert, recorded as an engraver of plate of copper to the House of York, to the works of enamel of Battersea to London. Here, the small beautiful copper cans were done for the 18th market of luxury of English century and the completely costly objects of virtue, the so-called jewelry store, the bottles of odor, the small cans of tobacco to prize and the merchandise practice, as the cans to contain instruments sewings, the course of treatment teeth, the plateaus to hold pens, the metallic cans for tea Even the candlesticks, conceived to the pieces in money, dear and imitated.

In 1756 the factory of Battersea closed and we find after Robert to the Worcester machines it in porcelain in the same year. Robert Hancock had taken evidently his knowledge and his expertise to the factory direction, under the direction of Dr the Wall of John.

The direction extremely was impressed with the idea of this technique of quick decoration! Since the factory opening in 1751, the porcelain picture had been a laborious and dear process, undertake by the painters with the pulverized colored edmaiux, mixed with the oil and the brushes lavenders.

Robert could teach its competences of impression and the process soon was mastered with the first one, famous, the copper plate engraved, the characters of transfer of black one are produced in 1757. The subject is Frederick the Big, the King of Prusse, the ally and the hero of the seven wars of years.

Transfer the impression as developed to Battersea, begun with unique competence of the engraver of plate of copper, that engraved deeply, with a good steel splitting, the desired conception. The conception was engraved in the opposite direction!, allowing the final characters to appear "the just manner about". The pigment then was added, often was mixed with the oil and heated to allow the color to run deeper in the engravings of plate of copper, additional ink wiped then with a palette. The copper plate, after having is wiped with a fabric then was covered with a fabric leaf that was cooled and was leaned on the plate. After, fabric gently was raised plate and regulated carefully on the form to be printed. As fabric was raised skillfully far, the conception was left behind. This early trains it impression left the characters on the frozen item, that was emptied then at last to regulate the characters on the frozen surface.

As the 18th century turned in the nineteenth first century, the new techniques of impression in ceramic were developed, not only to improve the technique, but to do it quicker, the time is money! The big name to this point is Josiah Spode that is credited with the introduction of under the glaasage transfer blue printing in Staffordshire, during 1781-84.

During the first 1800, fabric was replaced by a paper leaf, or a sometimes fabric. With a layer of applied glue, this easily could be cut and formed to adjust around the bent objects as the dishes and as the teapots. This is known as the characters of "bat" and gives his alternate name to the process "the bat printing". Inked it the bat then was placed on the object in ceramic and an impression left, leaving the characters adhering to the form. The item then was soaked in the glaasage and returned to the oven for the glost, or, empty low. The glue bats were redutilisables, more they conformed better to bent surfaces. Blue of cobalt, under the impression of transfer of glaasage became a norm of the industry of pottery of Staffordshire.

The men like Josiah Spode, Wedgwood, Thomas Minton and of others, were all types undertaking and all principal faces of the big Staffordshire the industry in ceramic. While to divide the relations of friendly, every matters looked at to the market! The it was in this moment that the big markets of exportation opened or increased in North America, Europe, and India where the consumers looked for the elegant and equalled series of merchandise.
