Catalogue of the Worcester collection of porcelain : divided into six classes or periods, and illustrating the progress of ceramic manufacture at Worcester from its earliest period (1751) to 1862

Worcester Royal Porcelain Company · 1863 · London, George Unwin, Printer · 3 pictures

A trade catalogue of the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company, printed in London in 1863 by George Unwin, documenting the company's porcelain from its 1751 beginnings to 1862 for collectors and the public. The three pictures are small printer's ornaments: a framed FINIS tailpiece with fleur-de-lis and scrollwork, a Gresham Steam Press device with a grasshopper and monogram, and a classical Medusa-head roundel. A designer could take from them the compact, symmetrical vocabulary of Victorian cartouches, scroll frames and classical medallion motifs.
