This plate is decorated in a style known as "Bengal Tiger", or "Dragon in Compartments." It was introduced by Worcester in the late 1760s. Its source is believed to be a Chinese "famille verte" pattern from the Kangxi period in the early eighteenth century, and it is found primarily on teawares, dessert wares and hexagonal vases.
