FAQs

First Period Worcester refers to porcelain produced at the Worcester factory from its founding in 1751 until 1783, characterised by early soft-paste bodies and diverse hand-painted or transfer-printed decoration.

These pieces were typically crafted from soft-paste porcelain, a mixture of white clay, glass frit, and soapstone, shaped by hand or thrown on a wheel before being hand-painted over or under the glaze.

Authenticity is assessed through examination of the paste under ultraviolet light, checking for characteristic underglaze blue or painted workmans marks, and observing baseline imperfections typical of eighteenth-century firing methods.

Antique porcelain pieces can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, used as focal points on open shelving, or styled individually on side tables to add historical texture to contemporary spaces.

Antique porcelain should be hand-washed gently in lukewarm water using mild detergent when necessary, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, and sudden temperature changes to protect the fragile glaze.
