This plate was produced by the Pratt factory prior to them mastering the art of transfer printing using multi-colours. Felix Pratt with this plate used kaolin mixed with the other material to create this which was named Kaolin Ware. It proved not to be such a great material to fire, as many pieces they produced in the early experimental days, we see that the blues tended to bleed into the pottery.

Picture 2. Displays the use of using a couple of colours sparingly.

Picture 3. Displays using a little more hand painting but note that the colours seem washed out.

Note:- As the process improved the back stamp changed to numbering the designs, the Pratts continued to use a numbering system on certain wares for many years.
