Re: shipment of transferware to America in 19th century
Hi Diane, I am going to ask a couple of our members who know much more than I about this sort of thing to respond to your interesting posting (and by the way, when/where will the exhibit be?). I do know that straw, among other materials, was used as packing material. Over the years I have seen a number of images of packing and of the barrels. I have one image which I am going to have our webmaster post, it is undated and is from the Facebook site Potteries of Stoke on Trent. You should take a look at that site, and post your enquiry there, as well. Let us know what you find out!
