The Asiatic Pheasants design is one of the first designs that Burleigh ever manufactured, Asiatic Pheasants was the second most popular pattern of the late 1800s. Today they use the traditional process of tissue transfer printing to make Asiatic Pheasants. As part of this process, the Asiatic Pheasants design is first hand engraved onto copper cylinders. Using these engraved copper plates, a stream of printed pattern is then printed onto fine sheets of tissue paper. This paper is then passed for cutting, application and rubbing before the pottery is washed. This age-old process hasn’t changed since origination. By utilizing this intricate method, they are able to ensure the quality and depth of color of each piece.The renowned Burleigh backstamp can be found on the underside of each piece of Asiatic Pheasants. Made up of a scrolled cartouche showing the name of the pattern and the proud ‘Made in England’ stamp, the Burleigh backstamp is a mark of quality, passion and craftsmanship.
