In the 18th Century the Chinese began to use transfer-printing patterns on porcelain. This process replaced patterns that were painted by hand, making transfer porcelain a more cost-effective process.
Since every piece is created by hand, you often see lines that don't meet, patterns that overlap, gaps on the borders, and color variations. The flaws are historically recreated and part of their charm.
