This rare set of 14 hand-painted plates was crafted in 1951 by Royal Worcester, one of England’s most prestigious porcelain houses. Each plate features a unique pastoral or classical ruin landscape, meticulously painted and signed by Raymond Rushton—renowned for his delicate brushwork and atmospheric scenes.
Commissioned by Ovington Brothers, a high-end New York department store, this series was created as a luxury export line for the American market. Rich royal blue borders with fine gilt details enhance the elegant contrast between art and function.
Raymond Rushton was a prominent landscape artist at Royal Worcester, active from the 1930s to the 1960s. Known for his soft brushwork and poetic compositions, Rushton masterfully captured the charm of the English countryside, often depicting pastoral views, historic ruins, and idyllic seasonal scenes. His work strikes a delicate balance between realism and romanticism, and signed pieces are highly sought after in antique auctions, particularly in limited hand-painted cabinet plates and vases. This series represents some of his finest mid-century work and artistic maturity.
This series features full-sized dinner plates, originally designed for formal main course service. While highly decorative and collectible, the plates retain full functionality—embodying the fusion of art and utility in mid-century porcelain.
