The victorian era was especially productive for Royal Worcester and the quality of the Figurines and other ceramics produced at that time was truly exceptional.
In 1852 Irishmen, Richard William Binns (1819-1900) and William Henry Kerr (1823-1879) took over the management of the Chamberlain & Co. porcelain works in Severn Street, Worcester and gathered together an exceptionally talented team; including James Hadley, Josiah Davis and John Hopewell who started in 1852, and James Callowhill, Samuel Ranford, Luke Wells and Josiah Rushton in 1853. Then Thomas Callowhill in 1855, David Bates in 1858, and Thomas Brock and George Owen in 1859.
Royal Worcester was founded in Worcester, England in 1751 and the first worcester factory was established on the banks of the River Severn by a group of local businessmen.
The beauty of Royal Worcester fruit painted porcelain can only be achieved thanks to the varied skills that the fruit painters and craftsmen possess.
