The fairly raucous, but very popular, "Queen Charlotte" pattern derives from Japanese Imari wares (or, as John Sandon points out, possibly from Chinese or continental copies of the Japanese originals.)

Swirling panels of  white on cobalt designs alternate with red enameled white-ground panels. The designs consist of simple petal forms and scalloping curves. The white reserve left at the center is punctuated by an equally simple flower form. Gilding accents the radial panels.

The curving profile of the cup's profile straightens out as it approaches the foot. The cup is adorned with a snappy ring handle.

Obviously this pattern was named for George III's queen, but her exact connection to the pattern remains unclear. The royal couple purchased porcelain on their 1788 visit to Worcester, however there is no record that this pattern was included.

Perhaps the Worcester producers realized early on that a catchy nickname increased a pattern's chances of popularity.
