With the establishment of the Royal Worcester Porcelain Company in 1862, the Worcester factory gradually gained recognition for its Japanese-inspired designs. These contributed to Japonisme, a collective fascination with Japan that took place in Europe and the United States after the opening of Japanese markets to the West in 1853.
