OLD WORCESTER
. PORCELAIN IS
TREASURED
Factory Was Established in
1871 by an English Chemist
and An Apothecary.s

Royal Worcester porcelain, espe-
cially rare old specimens Of maroon
color. are always looked upon by
collectors, with pardonable pride.
The product is beautiful in color
execution as well as design.
The Worcester factory was estab-
lished in 1851 by DIR. John Wall, q
chemist. and William Davis, an
apothecary. At first the porcelain
made reproduced Oriental designs;
but in 1868 Dresden and Sevres
ideas were adopted. George III
visited the works in 1888, the VEN
ture becoming the Royal Worcester
Porcelain Company. A great hit
was made at this place about 1857
with ware printed with a portrait
of Frederick the Great. Carlyle
has something to say about this
pottery apotheosis" of his hero.
The Worcester ground coIors are
well know. They include a deep
blue. turquoise, a lapis lazuli, a
pea-green, q maroon, and a canary
yellow. The gliding was good, and
the painting Of tropical birds and
flowers done during the earlier
and best periods. No other arti-
fetal porcelain excels the body Of
worcester, either in closeness Of
texture or perfect union with the
glaze. 1t is said that no piece Of
old Worcester has been found
crazed; fault arising either, as in
Chelsa sometimes, from excessive
thickness Of the glaze or, AS in
Derby, from a defect in the body.
The early porcelain Of Worcester
has a cold and coarse look; the
glaze is not white, but gray, and
the ware has not much beauty.
Later, the wares were white, and
the glaze became very fine. Color
decorations became very fine. Bril-.
liant colors in birds, flowers and
other paintings appeared. From
1853 to 1880 Sevres styles were
used.
The productions of Worcester of
the present period have been
brought to a wondrous state of
perfection, both as to body, glaze,
form and decoration. The ieweled
porcelain for which Worcester ia
so famous Is totally different from
that made at Sevres or Tcurnay.
The English jewellery il Of far
higher and purer character Each
OF the jewels is formed Of color
melted on to the china.
The first mark used was a simple
W. Another mark of about the
same time Is the crescent, which
was discontinued in 1898. The
Chinese-looking mark, q square
with a cross in the center il found
on porcelain prior to 1888 and the
cross swords of Dresden gre oc.
