This system continued until 1915 when 24 dots are arranged around the standard
printed mark.
The dots system was getting a little clumbersome so they were replaced by a single
asterisk in 1916 which was then followed by a new dot sequence. All under the
circle.
From 1916 a small star or asterisk appears below the mark.
1916 * below the mark. 1917 * and one dot. 1918 * and two dots
However on some pieces the old dot sequence continued for a few years, it being
easier and cheaper to put an extra dot on existing copper plates than make new
ones. This continued until the dots became un-manageable and then worcester marks changed to
different shapes, all printed beneath the circle.
1916 - * under circle
1917 - * plus 1 dot
1918 - * plus 2 dots
1919 - * plus 3 dots

1945 - 3 circles 13 dots

1947 - 3 circles 15 dots
1948 - 3 circles 16 dots
This continued until 1941 when there were 9 dots and the triple circle mark.
From c1942 the vast majority of factory stamps were printed in black with the following codes
below the mark.
1942-48 no dating system was used. 1949 V. 1950 W. 1951 W. 1952 W. 1953 W.
In 1949 the various asterisk, square, diamond and circle shapes changed to letters and then quickly
back to letters and dot sequences. These continued until 1963 but their use was rather inconsistent
and a great many pieces produced at this time un-dated.
1949 -
V
1950 - W
1951 - W plus 1 dot
1952 - W plus 2 dots
1953 - W plus 3 dots
1954 - W plus 4 dots
1955 - W plus 5 dots
1956 - W plus 6 dots
1957 - W plus 7 dots
1958 - W plus 8 dots
1959 - W plus 9 dots
1960 - W plus 10 dots
1961 - W plus 11 dots
1962 - W plus 12 dots
1963 - W plus 13 dots
After 1963 no dating system is used but patterns are all named and bear the date that
they were first introduced.
This continued until 1963 when 13 dots are arranged around the W.
After 1956 the letter W was nearly always substituted with a letter R
in
a
circle, i.e. 1959 = R or
W
under the circle with 9 dots.
From 1966 no date coding system was used, but on tableware the
year the pattern was introduced is stated next to
the pattern name.
In 1974 the current format of factory stamp was adopted. The date
included is the year of introduction of the design, not the date of
manufacture.
In April 1988 a system of year of manufacture identification that
fitted with that used by Spode was introduced and an M within a
diamond was incorporated below the factory mark.
In January 1989 new factory stamps were phased in with
N
in place of the
M
and soon afterward
black numbers were introduced. These numbers were replaced with grey ones in August 1989 to
reduce their visual impact.
January 1990 a new system introduced a printed grey lithographer identification number plus a
suffix to signify the year.
Printed In Grey
1990 - 39-0
1991 - 39-1
1992 - 39-2
1993 - 39-3
1994 - 39-4
In 1990 all factory stamps reverted to
the R form under the mark.
The
R
signifying registered.

1996 - 39-6

2000 - 39-00
2001 - 39-01
2002 - 39-02

Royal Worcester Tableware Marks
At some point during the 1960s it became standard practice for the Royal Worcester factory to name
all their tableware and dinner services. The Evesham and Royal Garden patterns being just two
examples.
Prior to this date named sets were uncommon, although there were some the majority of early
named patterns were given the name in more recent times. Rather than use names the Worcester
factory relied on pattern numbers which were hand written in script, rather than stamped.
In the 1860s when
Royal Worcester
was formed from the earlier Kerr and Binns, tableware was
given a simple four figure pattern number which carried on from those used by both Kerr and Binns
and the Chamberlain factory.
Numbers begin with 7247 in mid-1862 and continued to 9685 in August 1876.
From 1876 they changed to numbers prefixed with a ‘B’ and these ran until
B
1081 which was
produced in May 1883.
From 1883 all new tableware patterns were prefixed with a ‘W’ which started with ‘W1’ and
contimued until at least ‘W9978’ which was probably produced around mid-1913.
Prefixes then changed to a ‘C’ and the numbers started again and continued up to ‘C3390’ which
was first produced in 1928.
From 1928 all tableware patterns were prefixed with a ‘Z’ which continued until after 1962.
Records were only published for the more expensive hand painted patterns which appeared
randomly throughout the numbering sequence.
The records detail tableware type, the decoration, and the painter, but the simpler apprentice sets
and transfer printed sets appear to have no clear record of what each set looks like.
