Description:
Founded in Worcester, England in 1751, the Royal Worcester porcelain factory was established on the banks of the River Severn by a group of local businessmen, with the guidance of Dr John Wall, an eminent physician. Dr. Wall along with another of the group, apothecary William Davis, developed their own method for producing porcelain. eventually, Dr. Wall secured the sum of £4500 from the partners to establish the factory in Worcester, where a Museum of Worcester Porcelain exists to this day.
The Worcester factory always prided itself on its quality Worcester Porcelain. It received a royal warrant in 1789, and is still currently by appointment to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
At its height, the firm employed nearly 1,000 people, but after a merger with Spode, and heavy competition from overseas, the production was gradually switched to factories in Stoke and abroad.
Lavinia is one of the most popular patterns ever produced by Royal Worcester. This Lavinia casserole, which is part of the oven-to-tableware line, holds 2.25 quarts. It measures approximately 8 inches in diameter, and stands approximately 5.5 inches tall. It is in excellent undamaged condition.
