HISTORY/MARKS: Back in 1751, Dr. John Wall, a surgeon, William Davis, an apothecary, and a group of 13 local businessmen established a porcelain factory. In Worcester in 1756 Robert Hancock was the first man to apply transferring of prints onto porcelain. By 1789 the quality of Worcester Porcelain earned the company the prestigious “Royal Warrant” as Manufacturers to their Majesties after a visit from George III; thus the word “Royal” was added to the name. Royal Worcester as a manufacturer of extremely high quality wares rapidly became known for producing prestigious items for the upper classes. After centuries in the porcelain business, surviving wars and depressions, Royal Worcester experienced a number of ownership changes after the 1980’s. The final result being the cessation of business and the sale of the trade names and intellectual property in 2009 to Portmeirion Potteries plc. The Royal Worcester England mark on these is cited by Geoffrey A. Godden's Encyclopaedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Marks mark #4354 which was used 1891-1963. The date cipher below the mark on the cup is “Dot Dot Dot Dot Dot Star Dot Dot Dot Dot Dot” which was used in 1926. The date cipher below the mark on the saucer is “Dot Dot Dot Dot Dot Star Dot Dot Dot Dot” which was used in 1925. The Purple Registration Number is #690798 which was registered in 1922. This makes the production year of 1925-1926. Please view all pictures carefully as they are part of the description. The stand was used as a photo prop and is not part of this listing.
