Historical Significance
This is not just any Royal Worcester bowl. It was fired on 11 April 2004, the very last day of porcelain production at the historic Worcester factory, which operated from 1751. That makes this piece:
A commemorative and symbolic item
Likely made in a very limited number, possibly as part of a final run or for staff and collectors
Of considerable interest to Royal Worcester collectors and institutions
