Antique Questions Forum / portrait charger

« on: October 18, 2006, 12:20:58 pm »

Does anyone out there in AntiqueLand know what a transfer-printed portrait charger is and / or the process behind it?  I am researching a plate that was given to my paternal grandparents as a wedding gift somewhere between 1900 and 1910.  So far all I've found is a description and photograph of a similar plate with exactly the same profile portrait as mine.  In this description there is mention of it being a transfer-printed portrait charger.  

Any assistance would be very helpful.

Thanks.

Penny
