ULTRA RARE Yellow Staffordshire 4 Color Transferware Enoch Wood Butterfly Border Tureen 1830 victorian roses shown in last picturesAttributed to Enoch Wood (The Father of the Potteries) this is one of the most beautiful pieces of transferware, ever! Unusual and rare, it is done in a four color process, meaning there are 4 different transfers, one over the other, each requiring its own firing and a very skilled transferrer for placement of the pattern. The depth and color (brown, green, blue, yellow) is magnificent. The pattern is known simply as "Butterfly Border" with each piece
