Plate with armorial design c. 1802

This plate, made by the Worcester Porcelain Works (later known as Royal Worcester Porcelain Company) around 1802, showcases a striking example of 18th-century English porcelain. The plate's design features a central medallion with a black figure kneeling on a red ground, holding a sword and a flag, all framed by a geometric lattice pattern in a pale orange hue. The elaborate border is gilded in gold, showcasing a decorative motif of stylized leaves and stars against an orange background. The plate, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the craftsmanship and decorative style of English porcelain during this period, capturing a blend of classical motifs and contemporary artistic expressions.
