Description

A fine Royal Worcester dessert dish produced in 1901 and decorated in the factory's celebrated Blue Scale pattern. Made in bone china, this elegant oval dish belongs to a prestigious series inspired by the finest First Period Worcester and Dr Wall period masterpieces of the eighteenth century.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Blue scale refers to a decorative ground pattern featuring hand-painted overlapping scale shapes in deep cobalt blue enamel. Originating in 18th-century Worcester porcelain, the pattern creates a textured backdrop surrounding white reserve panels that house intricate hand-painted motifs.

These ceramic pieces were crafted from fine bone china or soft-paste porcelain body, decorated using overglaze enamel painting, and embellished with burnished liquid gold leaf or mercury gilding applied around raised scrollwork.

Authentic pieces bear a factory backstamp, usually featuring a circular crown logo printed in underglaze colour, alongside pattern numbers, painters marks, or year code dots and letters that correspond to exact production dates.

Intricately decorated porcelain dishes are frequently displayed on plate stands within glazed cabinets, arranged as wall art using disc hangers, or placed centrally on sideboards and console tables to act as focal decorative accents.

Hand-painted gilded porcelain should be gently cleaned with warm water and mild soap using a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive chemicals, scrubbers, or modern dishwashers that strip enamel paint and gilding.
