Back
in 1751, Dr. John Wall, a surgeon, William Davis, an apothecary, and a
group of 13 local businessmen established a porcelain factory. In
Worcester in 1756 Robert Hancock was the first man to apply transferring
of prints onto porcelain. By 1789 the quality of Worcester Porcelain
earned the company the prestigious “Royal Warrant” as Manufacturers to
their Majesties after a visit from George III; thus the word “Royal” was
added to the name. Royal Worcester as a manufacturer of extremely
high quality wares rapidly became known for producing prestigious items
for the upper classes. After centuries in the porcelain business,
surviving wars and depressions, Royal Worcester experienced a number of
ownership changes after the 1980’s. The final result being the
cessation of business and the sale of the trade names and intellectual
property in 2009 to Portmeirion Potteries plc. The Royal Worcester England mark on these is cited by Geoffrey A. Godden's Encyclopaedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Marks mark #4354 which was used 1891-1963. The date cipher below the mark on the plate is “Open Diamond” which was used in 1929. This makes the production year of 1929.
