{"title":"Royal Worcester","description":"\u003cp\u003eRoyal Worcester has been making fine porcelain in the city of Worcester since 1751 — a founding date so significant that the number \"51\" appears at the centre of every backstamp the pottery has ever produced. It is one of the oldest continuously operating porcelain manufacturers in the world, and one of the few that has maintained both its heritage and its relevance across nearly three centuries of production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRoyal Worcester built its reputation on exceptional craftsmanship: hand-painted fruit and floral subjects, meticulous gilding, and a standard of finish that placed it firmly in the prestige tier of British ceramics. Its most beloved pattern, \u003cem\u003eEvesham Gold\u003c\/em\u003e — named for the famous fruit orchards of the Vale of Evesham in Worcestershire — became one of the most collected British tableware patterns of the 20th century, and remains so today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse our current Royal Worcester pieces below — and if you are looking for a specific pattern or piece to complete a set, \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact\"\u003eget in touch\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","products":[{"product_id":"royal-worcester-eversham-vale-teapot-early-production-piece","title":"Royal Worcester \"Evesham Vale\" Teapot — Severn Shape, Early Production c.1984–1989, Made in England","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe best things in a kitchen are the ones that earn their place through use — not display. Royal Worcester’s \u003cem\u003eEvesham Vale\u003c\/em\u003e was designed with exactly that philosophy in mind: a robust oven-to-table porcelain collection, introduced in 1984 as an everyday alternative to the gilded \u003cem\u003eEvesham Gold\u003c\/em\u003e\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eEvesham Vale\u003c\/em\u003e pattern is immediately recognisable — vibrant, hand-painted-style fruit motifs including plums, cherries, and blackberries rendered on a warm white porcelain body, finished with a signature green trim along the rim and lid knob. The Severn shape gives the teapot a sturdy, generous character that feels made for a well-used kitchen table.
