Hi Lee,

Judging by the way little scraps of the motif seem to be scattered about on the perimeters of the pattern, I tend to think this jar's sweetpea scroll is a fairly recent example of transfer decoration, like the ones on the shelf at the Hong Kong painting factory in this photo that popped up from gotheborg in a Google search.

Best regards,

Bill H.

Hi Bill H,

Thank you so much for your confirmation on the decorated sweet peas scroll by transfer decoration.

Best regards.

Lee
