This cup and saucer set, created by the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company around 1775, exemplifies the popular 18th-century trend of "Imari" porcelain. Inspired by Japanese export ware, the set features bold, floral motifs in red, blue, and gold on a white ground. The intricate geometric patterns and stylized floral designs are characteristic of Imari-style ceramics, reflecting the fascination with Asian aesthetics during this period. This particular set is now part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection.
