These plates combine two techniques that were rarely used together:
Flow Blue
A cobalt transfer that intentionally blurred during firing, creating a soft halo effect.
This style was extremely popular in the U.S. between 1880–1900.
Polychrome Over-Painting
After the transfer print, decorators hand-applied enamel colors
This hybrid technique made plates more expensive than standard transferware.
