They were famous for their opulent designs, which often included Rococo decoration, shells and foliate scrolls. Queens has similarities in shape to the King’s pattern, but with more ornate decoration and an anthemion motif to the reverse of the bowls, as well as honeysuckle and shells to handles. The pattern was created on the request of George IV for his consort, Queen Caroline of Brunswick.
