CA ON00428 2017.04 · Collection · ca. 1886 - ca. 1902

This collection of tableware includes plates, bowls, and platters in various sizes. All the items have a matching blue and white motif in a style referred to as Flow Blue ceramics. In terms of design, it is similar to traditional blue and white china, except the ceramics undergo a process during glazing that creates an intentional blur of the colours. Sometimes called "poor man's china", it became popular for its inexpensive price, durability and its ability to be mass produced. Known as "transferware", a variety of different patterns arose in an attempt to replicate the look of eastern ceramic wares. Patterns were largely derived from Chinese-export wares and existent (topographical, historical and botanical) images known as source prints. These kinds of ceramics became increasingly popular in the North American market. This set is demonstrative of the kind of tableware that may have been used at Lambton House when it was operational.
