European transferware was in virtually every European home during the 18th & 19th centuries and mainly used as every-day dishes. For that reason, many pieces did not survive but, every-so-often you can happen upon a true treasure that is antique transferware. It is the beauty and history of these pieces that add to a room display or tabletop. I found a sweet little set this weekend…soup cup and saucer. Although I would not use for soup today, this would be a beautiful sugar bowl or drop a clear glass inside to hold water for a petite floral. Bottom line is, if you are lucky enough to have true antique transferware, use it – it is beautiful!
