Royal Worcester is collectors' choice

Royal Worcester is proving very collectible if Richard Winterton's website is anything to go by. In May, the fine art auctioneers reported Royal Worcester as being 'top of the lots' and this summer the pair of vases pictured fetched £1150.00.

Still as popular today as it was when Dr John Wall and William Davis developed their porcelain in 1751, Royal Worcester seems to be doing rather well at auction.

Winterton's May Fine Art and Collectors Sale saw a Royal Worcester teapot make a rare saleroom appearance. Dating from c.1880, the teapot design was inspired by the late Victorian ‘Aesthetic’ Movement associated with Oscar Wilde. On one side of the lid is a female face, the other side a male. Although restored, this is a highly desirable design and sold in the room for £2,500.

Then later this summer Royal Worcester wares continued their popularity with a pair of twin-handled vases (pictured above) signed ‘Nutt’, sold to a telephone bidder for £1150.
