FAQs

First Period Worcester porcelain refers to soft-paste ceramics produced at the Worcester factory between 1751 and 1783 under Dr John Wall. The period is noted for incorporating soaprock into the ceramic body to resist cracking from hot liquids.

Georgian Worcester teaware was manufactured using soft-paste porcelain containing steatite soaprock, finished with a lead glaze, and hand-decorated using overglaze enamels, underglaze cobalt blue, or gilding.

Authentic pieces frequently display a greenish translucency when held to light due to the soapstone content. Inspection of the foot rim often reveals blue crescent marks, square marks, or characteristic manufacturing glaze shrinkages.

Display single cups or small tea services on a sideboard tray, inside a glass-fronted cabinet, or placed amongst books on open shelving to add historical pattern and texture to modern rooms.

Hand wash gently in warm water using a mild soap, avoiding abrasive pads or chemical cleaners. Do not place in dishwashers or expose to direct sunlight for extended periods to preserve overglaze enamel colours.
