Understanding Patterns in Mulberry China

Video Transcript

"So when talking about Mulberry China, we want to talk a little bit about the patterns. There is a lot of patterns you can collect in mulberry. This is one of them. This is Venecia. This is an early pattern. The flow and the mulberry you can see here, is a variation between dark and light. This is one pattern I wanted to show you here today on this larger pattern. This pattern right here is the Ryan Scenery pattern which is another pattern that has more of a gray tone to it that is uniformed along the outside which you will see in some patterns in mulberry but not in all. A lot of other patterns which we will show you later, the borders have a very clear white and dark pattern distinct that you can see. This is a really nice pattern with a little bit of flow, not a lot in the tree area but then you can also see a big difference between the white and dark here so this is another pattern that you can collect. I will show you another pattern here which is the Washington vase and this pattern is really distinct because you can see the large vase surrounded by the trees and this is typical. You will see a lot of patterns with vases, small high homes and a lot of trees around the border. This is a pretty common pattern and easy to find and you can see the vases all through the pattern and on the outside you can still that distinct pattern that is gray, uniformed pattern on the outside. So let me show you a couple more patterns here on the cover and here is a pattern. This is the Jeto pattern which is pretty light. The white Ironstone on the back is very white and the transfer in mulberry is almost neutral. There is not a distinct really light, dark pattern but it has an interesting pattern around the sides of the sugar pot. Here you see the continuation of the house pattern, the oriental house patterns. The vase is in a different shape and flowers around the borders on this one and trees. Those are pretty much uniform you will see throughout the mulberry pattern."
