Description Antique transferware collector Scott T. Hanson shares his process for removing grime and under-glaze stains from historic Staffordshire transferware pottery. Using many close-up photographs and clear text, the process is illustrated and described using two examples of historic Staffordshire purchased on eBay. Antique dealers have long had their secret methods for cleaning these beautiful pieces of pottery but have not wanted the public to discover how it can be done. After a decade of trial and error experimentation, Hanson has developed a method that will remove the deepest stains from virtually any piece of glazed transferware, returning pieces to the bright colors and clean white backgrounds they had when they left the Staffordshire potteries in the 19th century. Whether you are a collector or dealer, this simple, low cost process will allow you to increase the beauty and value of these treasured collectibles. Clear, close-up photos walk you through the entire process, step by step. Two examples are shown to illustrate cleaning both a "typcally"stained and dirty piece and an badly stained and grimy piece. Also included is a concise description of the process used to create transferware in the Staffordshire region of England in the 19th century. Understanding how the pieces were made will help you to understand how they became stained under the glaze and how the method illustrated works to remove the stains.Scott T. Hanson is an architectural historian who collects antique transferware to display and use in his 19th century coastal Maine home, Whitten House. Using documentary research into probate inventories of several members of the original family to own the house, and shards of historic transferware found under and around the house in the course of restoration, he was able to identify the exact patterns that were in the house during the time two generations of the Whitten family called it home. Searching in shops, flea markets, auctions, and online, he has slowly found pieces of the patterns the Whitten family owned and has assembled a collection reflecting their time in the house. He also looks for pieces in the patterns collected by his mother and his partner, Andrew's, mother.Scott T. Hanson is also the co- author of "TheArchitecture of Cushing's Island,"written with Maine State Historian, Earle G. Shettleworth, and published in 2012. He has appeared, along with Whitten House, on the television program "IfWalls Could Talk"on the HGTV channel.
