Royal Worcester Fine China was established in 1751.Established 1751, Royal Worcester is believed to be either the oldest orsecond-oldest English porcelain maker still producing today. For this reason, Royal Worcester china is considered classically English and is revered for itshistory and provenance. The porcelain-...making business began when Dr. John Wall, a physician, and William Davis, an apothecary, developed a unique process forcreating porcelain. After convincing a group of 13 businessmen to invest, a newfactory was opened in Worcester, England.In 1783, King George III paid a visit to thefactory and granted it a royal warrant. It became known thereafter as the RoyalPorcelain Works. Royal warrants were also issued to Royal Worcester in 1907 bythe Prince of Wales and 1808 by the Princess of WalesA contemporary interpretation of classic elegance, the Corinth Platinumcollection presents a strongly geometric Greek key motif as a formal border topristine white bone china. Executed in one of today's most lustrous metals andlayered with a shimmering silver texture, the effect at the table is bothrichly dimensional and handsomely sophisticated. Royal Worcester crafts eachpiece in the Tempo shape, which features simple, full-bodied profiles, narrowhandles, and tidy rims. Despite its delicate appearance, bone china is suitablydurable for regular use and enjoyment. Though it should not be placed in themicrowave because of the metal detailing, it does go safely into the dishwasheron low heat.
