1961 Royal Worcester Evesham Oval Baking Dish. Measures about 11" across by 6.75" wide and stands 1.5". Excellent condition.
This 1961 Royal Worcester Evesham oval baking dish is a classic of English porcelain, originally introduced during the early 1960s to meet the growing demand for informal "oven-to-table" dining. Measuring approximately 11" by 6.75" and standing 1.5" high, this shallow baker is crafted from high-quality fireproof porcelain, making it safe for use in the oven and freezer. The Evesham pattern is one of Royal Worcester's most recognizable designs, featuring a variety of autumnal fruits inspired by the local fruit-growing region near Worcester.
Known for its durability and timeless aesthetic, the Evesham Gold series features real 22-carat gold gilding around the scalloped edges. This specific piece showcases a beautiful trio of motifs—asparagus, citrus, and a peach—that were faithfully reproduced from original paintings by the factory's top artists. Whether used for roasting vegetables, serving sides, or as a decorative piece in a cottagecore-themed kitchen, this dish represents the peak of mid-century British ceramic design. To preserve the delicate gold trim, hand washing with mild detergent is recommended.
This item is vintage, over 60 years old. While it appears to be in excellent condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
