Worcester porcelain in the International Exhibition, 1871. 'The International Exhibition at South Kensington [in London], in its Industrial Department, contains several important collections. Those of pottery and porcelain, woollen and worsted textile fabrics, and the machinery used in their manufacture, are the chief specialties of the exhibition; the remaining ground-floor space being occupied by the school-furniture and instruments of teaching, and by models of mechanical or other scientific inventions. The collection of pottery and porcelain consists of nearly 700 articles, some from the manufacturing establishments of Messrs. Josiah Wedgwood and Sons. Minton and Co., W. T. Copeland and Sons, John Rose and Co., Maw and Co., and the Royal Worcester Porcelain Works; others from those maintained by foreign Governments at Berlin, Copenhagen, and other cities of Continental Europe; and a few which owed their production to the taste of Indian Princes and Rajahs. Those shown in our Illustration are from the Royal Porcelain Works at Worcester'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
