FIRST PERIOD WORCESTER PORCELAIN BLUE AND WHITE CREAM JUG ROYAL LILY PATTERN BFS I.F.8 C.1775
"An attractive First Period Worcester eighteenth century cream jug hand decorated with a delightful formalized Chinese style blue and white design. The pattern is known as Royal Lily BFS I.F.8. This early example dates from circa 1775 and is beautifully finished with a blue gilded border and rouge de fer edge line. The Royal prefix originates from an order placed for a "Lily" pattern service by King George III in 1788. A great example of this pattern, found on a rare and exquisite Worcester porcelain cream jug." Antiques Expert Hamilton Bear.
