The F & R Pratt Company was the first pottery company to master a four-color transfer underglaze process in their pottery. Prattware became quite well known in the 1800s for creating beautiful images on pot lids and other wares. The Company was started in 1847 and ran under the watchful eye of Felix Pratt until his death in 1885. The transferware process was an intricate one that Pratt and his head engraver, Jesse Austin were the first to develop and market.
