Worcester is synonymous with not only a beautiful cathedral city but also some of the finest porcelain ever created. Admired across the world, Royal Worcester wares are some of the most desired pieces in existence.
Porcelain made at Worcester is highly regarded no matter the period is was made. Its history features many different factories, owners, and designers, all producing valuable work. For this reason, collectors often form distinct historically based groups, and choosing a period to specialize in is a good starting point for new enthusiasts.
The choices for collectors of Worcester are wide and varied, from early-period pickle dishes to the figurines of Freda Doughty. While 18th-century wares will always command high prices, they are rare and difficult to acquire. Today collectors are competing for the highly decorated wares of the late 19th and 20th century. While pieces from this period are readily available, steadily rising prices make this one of the strongest international markets.
