In the 17th and early 18th century most of the wealthy had some blue and white Oriental porcelain. When the English manufacturers produced porcelain it was natural for them to turn to these examples for inspiration in shape and decoration. Worcester blue painted wares sold at a reasonable price and became very popular. This great and overwhelming demand lead the factory to experiment in printing. By the 1760's printing had been perfected and enabled Worcester to offer blue and white wares in larger quantities and at prices that competed with Chinese Export porcelain.
