The «worcester royal porcelain company limited» was the result of this work. during the second half of the nineteenth century, royal worcester produced a new material called parian, which revolutionised figure making. exhibition pieces were created, such as the norman conquest vases, the potters' vases and the giant chicago vase, now on show at the museum of worcester porcelain. during the early 20th century royal worcester took a traditional approach to shapes and decoration. the factory celebrated its 250th anniversary 2001. the company went into administration in November 2008. dimensions it is 8 1/2" in diameter from rim to rim and the rim sits 1" tall above the surface on which the plate rests. condition i can find no issues. the fine print the images are the majority of the listing description, so take a look at them closely. shipping costs have really increased—this is calculated into the buy-it-now price. i am not able to sell individual items from items i have listed as a group. i just don't have the stamina to create new listings for those. i apologize for that. i haven't initially individually listed items because i don't have enough listing slots to so. trying to downsize some, though extremely melancholically. shipping time: i otherwise work more than full time and my health isn't great, so kindly excuse the longer handling time. if i am able to ship sooner, i absolutely will do that. i appreciate you taking the time to view my listing.
