Transfer to Potters' Ware or other Irregular Surfaces.
We THE WORCESTER ROYAL PORCELAIN COMPANY Limited of Royal Porcelain
Works in the City of Worcester in the County of Worcester Porcelain Manufacturers,
and WILLIAM MOORE BINNS of the same place Assistant Art Director of the said
Company's Works, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has for its object to facilitate the operation of transferring designs
or impressions to fictile ware or objects having curved or irregular surfaces and for
this purpose to provide and employ in the manner hereinafter described an improved
lithographic transfer paper medium or tissue especially adapted for the application of
chromo-lithography to the decoration of China, Glass, Earthenware, or other objects
having curved surfaces.
We take a sheet of ordinary cartridge paper or other suitable paper of good
substance and lay it upon a table or plane surface then a sheet somewhat smaller of
thin paper or tissue such as pottery transfer paper or tissue one side of which we
cover with a thin coating of melted gelatine, gum or other suitable glutinous material.
The coated side of the thin paper or tissue is then laid upon the Cartridge paper to
which it immediately adheres. The double sheet is then pressed or rolled to produce
a perfectly level surface as possible free from air bubbles or other irregularities and
when dry is ready for use. The subject intended to be transferred to China, Glass,
Earthenware or other objects may be then printed in any desired colour or colours
much in the ordinary manner upon the thin paper now adherent to the thicker paper
beneath.

page_text: The picture having been completed is dried and the double paper is immersed in
warm water when after a very short interval the two sheets will separate. The thin
paper or tissue bearing the impression of the subject is then carefully removed from
the water and dried and the picture is ready for transferring to the article which it is
proposed to decorate.
