About the Item
A complete and highly refined set of twelve Royal Worcester porcelain cabinet plates, each individually hand-painted by Raymond Rushton (British, fl. early–mid 20th century), one of the factory's leading architectural painters of the wartime and post-war period. Dating to circa 1941, these plates are remarkable examples of Royal Worcester's continued dedication to fine hand decoration even during an era of material shortages and wartime austerity.
Executed with soft pastoral nuance and detailed architectural accuracy, each plate is centered with a cathedral rendered in watercolor-like tones, framed by idyllic trees, rivers, and village lanes. The scalloped edges are enriched with hand-applied gilt borders. Each is inscribed to the reverse in sepia enamel with the name of the depicted cathedral and bears the printed Royal Worcester mark in underglaze blue, consistent with 1940s production. All plates are additionally hand-signed by Raymond Rushton, whose painterly command evokes the lineage of Worcester artists such as H.J. Stinton and William Hawkins.
Depicted Cathedrals (each identified on verso):
Canterbury Cathedral
York Cathedral
Durham Cathedral
Ely Cathedral
Lichfield Cathedral
St. Paul’s from the River
St. Paul’s Cathedral
Winchester Cathedral
Wells Cathedral
Exeter Cathedral
Gloucester Cathedral
Hereford Cathedral
Each cathedral is presented in a luminous natural setting that reflects both topographic sensitivity and romanticism—a hallmark of Rushton’s distinctive hand. The set as a whole forms a visual survey of England’s great ecclesiastical monuments, making it a superb acquisition for collectors of architectural porcelain, cathedral ephemera, or 20th-century Worcester.
