The Georgian Period, from which the pattern above took its name, lasted from the early 1700s to the early 1800s, and was marked by the crowning of King George I of England. During this period in history the British and French aristocracies reached the apex of their power and influence. Unfortunately for them, also during this period they lost their power and influence during the American and French Revolutions. One of the most unique aspects of the Georgian period relates to the preparation and serving of dinner. Huge sets of ornate porcelain dinnerware were made for the aristocracy, as during the Georgian period, many of today’s most famous china manufacturers were formed, including Adams, Aynsley, Minton, Royal Copenhagen, Royal Crown Derby, Royal Worcester, Spode, and of course, Wedgwood.
