Minute amounts of gold were used to produce copper, gold, pink or purple lustre, depending on the type of clay, lustre formula, number of layers and firing temperature; platinum was used to mimic silver. Transfer printing was introduced in the second half of the 18th century, often using the glue bat method. The design was engraved on a copper plate, which was covered with linseed oil; a thin bat of animal glue was pressed onto the oiled plate and then applied to the ware. The ware was then dusted with powdered metallic oxide, which adhered to the oil, and fired to fix the design. Round-bodied vessels were particularly well suited to this method as the flexible bat could be stretched around curves.This type of jug was made for everyday use. The shape and size of this example suggest it may be for milk. The transfers indicate the date of manufacture. Victoria, Princess Royal (the eldest child of Queen Victoria) was betrothed to Prince Frederick William of Prussia in 1857 and they married on 25 January 1858. Frederick became Emperor of Germany and King of Prussia in March 1888, but died just 99 days later. Thereafter, Victoria was known as The Empress Frederick. The style of decoration and choice of transfers suggests the jug was made in Germany, perhaps for the English market.referenceterm-120127adlib-term-120127ee2ddbd4-503c-30f5-8cf9-3c2d121bd315Victoria Ireferenceterm-109672adlib-term-109672a788e98b-c8a4-313c-9617-1a812228e86419th Century, Mid#whitereferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwarereferencemedia-34762adlib-media-347623cc9be3b-1ce2-3723-b185-0a22318d8956jpegaa/aa2/C_1167_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162498764661imagejpegaa/aa2/mid_C_1167_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels362widthpixels50016162498764661imagejpegaa/aa2/C_1167_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162498764661imagejpegaa/aa2/preview_C_1167_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels181widthpixels25016162498764661image0media
