royal worcester porcelain

 

In 1751, the first Worcester Porcelain factory was founded by a group of 15 men, headed by Dr. John Wall, an eminent physician.

Dr. Wall along with another of the group, an apothecary called William Davis, developed their method for producing porcelain. Dr. Wall secured the sum of £4500 from the partners to establish the factory in Worcester and those original partnership deeds are still housed in the Museum of Worcester Porcelain.

The Worcester Porcelain Museum houses the world’s largest collection of Worcester Porcelain. The ceramic collections, archives and records of factory production, form the primary resource for the study of Worcester porcelain and its history. The collections date back to 1751 and the Victorian gallery is decked with deep colours, extravagant exhibition pieces and works of breathtaking craftsmanship.
