Antique blush ivory porcelain vase (cachepot) for floral pot with drainage hole, late 19th century, made by Royal Worcester. The piece decorated with applied floral ornament on the top and bottom of the vase with three circular gold lines and gilded top and bottom edge. In the center gilt and puce colored fern bezelled leaves with gilt highlights. Marked on the bottom with a Royal Worcester mark with pattern number. The Worcester Porcelain Company was one of the earliest and became one of the most prominent of the UK ceramics companies founded in 1751. On June 24th 1862 it became The Worcester Royal Porcelain Company Limited, and it continues today, but is now part of the Portmeirion Group. We most commonly refer to this factory today as Royal Worcester Originally Worcester produced blue and white porcelain imitating the Chinese imports along with polychrome ware and decorative pieces. As a company with a long heritage it has gone through many changes. Worcester became one of the most famous ceramic companies of all time supplying decorative and utility porcelain to royalty around the world. As with so much of the ceramics industry in the UK they struggled in the later 20th century with changing markets and commercial pressure from overseas factories. Today we can still relive the glory days of this once great factory through the wonderful artistry and craftsmanship of their historic pieces.
