This sherd is a piece of blue and white transfer pattern.

Blue and white transferware is a type of decorative ceramic that gained popularity in the late 18th and early 19th centuries Using the transfer printing technique, intricate designs were applied to pottery and porcelain, allowing for mass production of detalled patterns that were previously only achievable through hand painting. Black transferware, often featuring pastoral scenes, historical imagery, or intricate floral motifs, became especially fashionable during the Victorian era. Englis potteries such as Spode, Wedgwood, and Minton produced notable black and white transferware pieces, which were widely exported. The contrast of the dark ink against a white background gave these pieces a timeless elegance, making thei highly collectible today.
