Introduced in 1961 as the beginning of a new trend for more informal dining that was to bring the humble casserole dish from the kitchen to the dining table. Evesham, named after the local fruit-growing region near Worcester, was Royal Worcester’s best-selling brand of the late 20th century.  The original painted fruit sprays were painted by members of the team in the Royal Worcester Design Department.  Apples, pears, cherries, damsons and blackberries are the colorful fruit sprays displayed. These original designs were then faithfully reproduced using an eighteenth century technique in which lithographic stones were painstakingly engraved to reveal an impression of the original artwork for transfer to the porcelain. The Design Department worked on the pattern throughout 1961/62 until five items were introduced in 1962. The artwork was reproduced in 26 colors and finished with hand applied gilding.  Each Piece identically marked 1961 Cups are about 2.5 tall. Rim diameter about 3.25 Saucers are 6  Beautiful AND practical   18DI
