From the hometown of the famous Scottish poet, Bobby Burns, Mauchline, Ayshire, Scotland, the manufacture of Mauchline ware began in the early 1800s. The wood of choice was sycamore because of the fine grain and color.The boxes were decorated with hand-painted images on wood, then scenes painted on paper glued to surface and varnished. In the 1880s, etchings and steel engravings were transferred on tops and sides of the items. As the process and popularity grew, these were made for the tourist trade and found at the site of the transfers. The transfers represent not only sites in Great Britain but also France, Germany, Italy and the US.
