Tools used for engraving copper-plates for printing changed little over the first 150 years of transfer printing on ceramics. Shown here are the engraving tools (seen on the left), an engraved copper-plate, the printed tissue paper used for transferring the pattern onto a blank plate, and the finished printed plate. The pattern shown here is the popular Nuneham Courtenay pattern. It is also known as the Wild Rose pattern, referring to the border design.
