We do not know the vintage, 1890 may be the year, or some other number; we are not sure.
We have also seen similar items by Royal Worcester.
In very good vintage condition, no chips, breaks or repairs, no crazing that we can see, a couple tiny spots of minor paint loss on some of the small green leaves, and a tiny spot on the gold rim.
Quite an unusual piece.
