The ability of Worcester's porcelain to withstand hot liquid without cracking gave the factory a monopoly in making tea services. By about 1762-65, the components of a tea set had become reasonably standardized and remained so until the middle of the nineteenth century. During the 1760s and 1770s, Worcester made teapots in three sizes. Tea cups could come with or without a handle, in which case they were called teabowls. Teabowls were more popular in the early years of Worcester's production when the company was more influenced by Asian protoypes.

Here, each fluted piece is white with a top border of deep royal blue with gold designs painted over it. Hand-painted garlands of flowers dip from the border. The overall pattern is associated with the fluted shapes and Neo-classical designs that evolved from Sevres from about 1775 onward.
