Saucer c. 18th century

This 18th century saucer, crafted by the Worcester Porcelain Works, is an example of blue and white transferware. The piece features a raised design of delicate floral motifs, reminiscent of Chinese porcelain, and a prominent blue flower in the center. This design, known as the "Indian Flower" pattern, was popular in the 18th century and was inspired by imported East Asian ceramics. The saucer demonstrates the influence of global trade on European decorative arts and exemplifies the artistry of the Worcester Porcelain Works.
