Historical Background:

Royal Worcester is one of the most celebrated names in British porcelain, with a history dating back to its founding in 1751 in Worcester, England. The company became known for its innovative techniques, particularly in bone china and underglaze painting. This piece, with its model number G 971, is a wonderful example from the mid20th century. The year 1953 holds special significance for the company and the United Kingdom, as it was the year of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. Royal Worcester, as a company holding a Royal Warrant, would have been at the height of its prestige. Pieces from this era reflect the classic style and exceptional quality that make Royal Worcester a favorite among collectors of fine English china.
