A Royal Worcester 18 Piece desert service dated 1874 (printed marks), consisting of 12 plates, 2 tazzas and 4 footed plates, each piece having a celadon green background with gilded outer borders, the 6 serving items each having gilded, scrolled feet, the decoration consisting of sprays of flowers on one side and raised enamelled birds and insects (which appear English, such as robins, swallows etc), painted the opposite side to the flowers.
