Amongst others, that there is aLiverpool punch-bowl of earthenware, printed inblue, by bat process, at the Herculaneum factory.Mr. Gatty gives extracts from some MSS., whichinter alia, have the following regarding Liverpool.^Then blue printed ware, which was invented in blackand red printing first, and transferred off paper bySadler. Meteyard, in her Handbook to WedgwoodWare (p. 336), states that potters from a distancesent their ware in the biscuit state to Sadler andGreen, and that Wedgwood soon followed theirexample. That would (if true) be early in the sixties,for we find Wedgwood hunting up the London printshops in 1765, for designs for decoration of theQueens Ware (an overglaze) which he sent toLiverpool.
