I have been trying to identify this Royal Worcester pattern off and on for years. I have 10 of these heavily guilt plates in 8 different color schemes. "X" Mark indicates 1886. Theo Starr was the retailer in New York. Maybe a special order? I would love to hear from anyone with any info. Thanks in advance.
Please help identify this Royal Worcester pattern if you can. Thanks
charliefishhead, This looks like the same pattern, but unfortunately, no pattern name is given:

Here are some dessert plates (still no pattern name):

Set of Six Royal Worcester Porcelain Dessert Plates, fourth quarter 19th century, having Imperial Yellow grounds richly patterned with delicate blackout-lined floral decoration, produced for Theodore B. Starr, New York, and so backstamped in addition to the lavender underglaze transfer-printed Worcester "wheel" mark, dia. 9".

keramikos, you are amazing. I can't believe you found these pattern matches so quickly. Since they all seem to be retailed by Theo Starr I suppose they could have been an exclusive pattern. This info also confirms date of production. My plates are so pristine I thought they might be fake. Thank you so much for your efforts they are truly appreciated. I will keep looking for the pattern name and have a little more direction now.
charliefishhead, You're welcome. :-)
I suspect the reason I found those examples so quickly is just the ever-changing, ever-growing nature of the Internet.
You can perform a search one day, and find bupkes.
Performing the same search a day, or a month, or a year later can produce results, just because in the interim somebody inherited something they didn't have room for, and decided to sell it (or some similar scenario).
wonderful as most Royal Doulton
