Plate c. 1880

This decorative plate, produced by the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company around 1880, showcases a vibrant combination of Japanese-inspired motifs and European craftsmanship. The plate features a pink background adorned with a geometric pattern, accentuated by delicate branches and a central panel depicting a stylized landscape with a scroll, bird, and flowers in gold. This intricate design reflects the fascination with Japanese art and culture prevalent in Europe during the late 19th century, known as Japonism. The Worcester Royal Porcelain Company, renowned for its high-quality porcelain, successfully integrated this trend into their production, resulting in pieces like this plate.
