Royal Worcester's development of a new range of ornamental wares in the 1890s was inspired by the European Art Nouveau style, This Diverse range of shapes was decorated with asymmetrical and scattered floral arrangements, called ‘Art Sprays', in muted colours, embellished with gold.
The range of ware we know today as ‘Blush Ivory' was so successful by 1900 that Royal Worcester applied the decoration to virtually every shape they could produce, including numerous Indian and Japanese shapes and even Classical figures that had been originally designed for other types of decoration years earlier. This strayed from the original concept of a new, natural style, but still found favour with the middle classes who were desperate to fill their homes with decorative porcelain, which they purchased from the brand new department stores that were opening in major towns.
