DescriptionFounded in 1751, the Worcester Porcelain Manufactory purchased the Bristol factory of Benjamin Lund in 1752 and so acquired much technical know-how. The factory soon began producing good quality, thinly potted, and durable soft-paste porcelain that did not crack or craze from contact with hot liquids. It made large quantities of tea and coffee wares and decorative vases. The factory pioneered the use of transfer printing, from 1757 in black and by 1760 in underglaze blue. In the 1770s, there was a rapid growth in the area of blue transfer-printed wares.
Provenance[George McFarland, New York], by 1956; purchased by Miss Ima Hogg, July 16, 1956; given to MFAH, by 1966.
