Royal Worcester mark

Sorry for it, but I comb all internet but couldn't find description of the mark on the right. The quality of those 2 pieces are very different. The one on the right is much better. I am wondering, if it is older, younger or fake? Thank you very much for reading it.

 

The one on the right was probably made after the Worcester trade name was taken over by Portmeirion.

 

Modern history

In the 20th century, Royal Worcester's most popular pattern has been "Evesham Gold", first offered in 1961, depicting the autumnal fruits of the Vale of Evesham with fine gold banding on an "oven to table" body.[11]

After the 1976 merger with Spode,[12] and due to heavy competition from overseas, the production was switched to factories in Stoke and abroad. 100 staff were made redundant in 2003, and another 100 went in 2005. Fifteen porcelain painters left the Severn Street factory on Friday 29 September 2006, together with 100 other workers.[13] The last trading date for Royal Worcester was 14 June 2009.

The company went into administration on 6 November 2008 and on 23 April 2009, the brand name and intellectual property were acquired by Portmeirion Pottery Group – a pottery and homewares company based in Stoke-on-Trent. As Portmeirion Group has a factory in Stoke-on-Trent, the purchase did not include the Royal Worcester and Spode manufacturing facilities.[12]

Well looks like Janet beat me to it.

 

Thank you very much.

 

If your Evesham has gold trim it can't be put in the microwave - later they produced it without the gilding.

 

Thank you Both are with gilding.

 

Thank you. Maybe I was not clear with question. The question was about mark on the right side: what year is it, or is it fake? There are no credible attribution of this mark on internet. I thought, maybe, somebody here has a knowledge about. The left piece is just for comparison of quality, it is bearing very common mark, but quality is much worse. I hope, I caught it on the photo.

 

Did you read all the responses? The one on the right is newer, after 2008 when Royal Worcester was taken over by Portmeirion.

 

Of course, I read, it was the best response! After I read it, I was looking for particular time after accusation, but couldn't find this mark anyway.

 

sorry, acquiring
