| Place of origin |
The bat-printed method was in use during the period 1800 to 1820. In this technique, a 'bat' of jellified glue was used to transfer an oily image from a copper plate to the surface of a pot. The sticky print was then dusted with finely ground enamel pigment and fired on. Great subtlety could be achieved.
