The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Dr Wall period Worcester porcelain refers to items produced by the Worcester Tonquin Manufacture between 1751 and 1783 under the direction of Dr John Wall, characterised by soft-paste porcelain decorated predominantly with underglaze blue Chinese-inspired patterns.

18th-century English butter tubs were typically crafted from soft-paste porcelain infused with soapstone to enhance thermal stability, featuring hand-painted or transfer-printed underglaze cobalt blue decorations and moulded floral finials.

Authentic pieces from this period often exhibit a greenish translucency when held to light, possess underglaze blue maker marks such as the crescent or fretted square mark, and show characteristic glaze shrinkage around the foot rim.

Display the piece centrally on a dining sideboard, inside a glazed dresser, or on a mantelpiece alongside modern minimalist ceramics to create a contrast between historic craft and contemporary design.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and a mild non-abrasive detergent applied with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding prolonged immersion if repairs are present, and never place in a modern dishwasher.
