Plate c. 1770

This octagonal porcelain plate, produced by the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company around 1770, is a fine example of English porcelain. The plate is decorated with a central coat of arms and a delicate floral border, all painted in vibrant colors on a white background. This decorative style, common in 18th-century English ceramics, reflects the growing popularity of porcelain among the upper classes. The piece, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company.
