Footnotes

The King and Queen visited Worcester in 1788 to attend the Music Meeting and they toured Flight's china manufactory. They ordered a set of the Lily pattern, which was renamed 'Royal Lily' in their honour. It is presumed that the 'Queen Charlotte' pattern was also renamed following the Queen's visit in 1788, but there is no surviving record of an order for the pattern from the Queen. Introduced thirty years earlier, the Queen Charlotte pattern remained popular throughout the Regency period. See John Sandon, The Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain (1993), pp.103-5.
