Royal Worcester porcelain has been in production since 1751 and achieved grand success during the reign of Queen Victoria, producing elaborate dinner services for the Royal Family and the British aristocracy. While many of the older, more ornate patterns are of interest to collectors, this Café Fleur pattern is designed specifically for everyday living and should appeal to modern tastes. Ideal for baking and serving lasagne or brownies, this 11-1/2-by-9-3/4-inch rectangular baker is made of fine porcelain, a durable ceramic material formed from fired clay with a white finish and translucent sheen. As such, it is completely safe for the microwave, freezer, oven, and dishwasher. One of three different variations of Café Fleur, this pattern has a bright white background with pale green hues, popular decorating colors for traditional kitchens. Pretty stems of flowering Clematis, inspired by the flowers in English gardens, brighten up the center of the dish. A cheerful, raised white-on-white checkerboard pattern encircles the outside rim along with a thinner strip of green-and-white checkered banding, both evoking the feel of a tablecloth at a casual outdoor café. This dish mixes and matches with the slightly different Green, Sprays, and Squares designs for extra intrigue when setting a table and coordinates with a large line of serveware pieces. --Cristina Vaamonde
