A commemorative creamware teapot of John Wesley dating to the late 1700s. Like many commemorative Wesley ceramics of this period, it isn't hand-painted but features a black transfer printed image. These could literally be stuck onto ceramics and then fired on. Transfer prints were quick to produce, cost effective and became very fashionable.
