A history of Royal Worcester Porcelain

The porcelain factory was founded in 1751 with a Royal Warrant from King George III. In 1751 Dr. John Wall, and a group of local businessmen, established a porcelain factory. The earliest Worcester porcelain was painted in blue under the glaze. By 1756 Robert Hancock had arrived at Worcester, the first man to apply transferring of prints onto porcelain. Around 1770 one of the first Royal dinner services was made for the Duke of Gloucester. Dr John Wall retired in 1774, however his partners continued to manufacture until their London agent, Thomas Flight, took over. By 1789 the quality of Worcester Porcelain earned the company the prestigious 'Royal Warrant' as Manufacturers to their Majesties - thus the word 'Royal' was added to the name. In 1840 manufacture was consolidated on the current factory site and major modernisation followed in 1862. The 'Worcester Royal Porcelain Company Limited' was the result of this work.
