Worcester Dragons in Compartments Group a Saucer & Four Cups England C-1800-1820

This Worcester Porcelain group, a saucer with four cups, features the exquisite Dragons in Compartments pattern. Hand-painted circa 1800 to 1820, this exceptional group showcases the iconic pattern also known as Kylins in Compartments and Bengal Tiger. Each piece is a fine example of English porcelain influenced by Chinese export wares from the Kangxi period, blending mythical creatures and classical floral motifs. The pattern details include four gilt-edged, lozenge-shaped panels that alternate between mythical beasts and vases set on a table. A wide border decorated with green and orange floral patterns surrounds these panels. The tea cup and one coffee cup were made circa 1800; they both have fluted sides and a fluted top edge.
