English blue-and-white transfer wares with American views--both rural and urban--found ready buyers in the United States during the mid- and late 19th century. The transfer process, invented by British potters, starts with an image engraved on a copper plate. The image is printed onto tissue paper, which is then pressed onto the ceramic surface while the ink is still wet. When the ceramic is fired, the image is fixed. Replacing laborious hand-painting, the transfer process allowed Britain to export vast quantities of decorated ceramics to the United States. Here, we present a few examples with images of Baltimore.
