DescriptionThis is an assembled pair of Worcester "Rose and Floral Sprays" pattern butterboats. Each butterboat is molded on the exterior with overlapping geranium leaves issuing from a stem-form handle. They are painted on the interior with a central spray of a rose and other flowers within three trailing flowering branches and an insect around the irregularly scalloped rim. There are crescent marks in underglaze blue. The rim has some chips.
