I try to take a little extra effort to make daily routines feel singular. Each morning I look forward to my cup of coffee. The act of pouring fresh brewed coffee into my Blue Calico Burleigh cup is a moment I treasure. Besides the quality of the coffee, what makes this morning routine so special is the beauty of my Blue Calico Burleigh cup. Burleigh pottery is known as transfer ware, a process in which the pattern is applied to tissue paper from copper engravings and then appled to the biscuit glazed pottery before the final firing. This transferring process has been in use for over 200 years and is labor intensive. Burleigh is the last pottery in the world making transfer ware pottery. Each piece of Burleigh pottery is decorated by hand using this transfer method, hence the variations that make this pottery unique and distinctive.
