Plate c. 1765 - 1770

This plate, produced by the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company in the 1760s, exemplifies the popular blue-and-white style of English porcelain. The intricate design features a stylized rose branch with leaves and buds, complemented by various insects and a single worm, all painted in a cobalt blue glaze against a white background. This decorative motif was a common design element of English porcelain in the 18th century, reflecting the growing interest in naturalism and botanical studies. The plate is a fine example of the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company's craftsmanship, known for its high-quality porcelain and delicate hand-painted designs.
