This service was made for William Henry, Duke of Gloucester. His elder brother, King George III, visited the Worcester factory in 1788 and granted the Royal Warrant the following year. The Gloucester service represents one of the most sumptuous decorations to be seen on Royal Worcester dinnerware. Detailed in rich 22 carat gold eyelash gilding and appealing turquoise accents, this pattern will become a treasured heirloom for many generations to come.
