How do I identify a Royal Worcester pattern?
To identify a Royal Worcester pattern, first look at the maker's marking, usually positioned on the bottom of a piece. Because Royal Worcester changed its markings many times over the years, you can compare the one on your piece to images shared on trusted online resources and get a rough idea of when it was made. Once you have an estimated year of production, examine online visual identification guides to see what patterns the maker produced during that time frame and match them to your piece. Alternatively, you can contact a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer for assistance. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Royal Worcester porcelain.
