From the beginning, great emphasis was placed on superb craftsmanship. During the early periods, several decorative styles were perfected by the company. Worcester gained fame for their fine bone china Royal dinner services including the sumptuous Duke of Gloucester dinnerware, still offered today. In 1789, Worcester was granted the prestigious Royal Warrant by King George III, and added the word "Royal" to its name. The production of a new material named Parian, alongside new decorative styles, enabled Royal Worcester to revolutionize figure making in the second half of the nineteenth century. This successful 250 year history is a reflection of its innovative heritage. Royal Worcester has maintained its prominence as one of the most sought after brands by important collectors and museums across the globe. |
