An English porcelain plate decorated in the elaborate Worcester Dragons in Compartments pattern, associated with late 18th and 19th-century Worcester wares. The design is arranged around a central flower medallion with radiating red and green points, surrounded by shaped compartments containing colorful stylized animals, flowers and ornamental objects. A bright green dotted ground, iron red borders, cobalt blue details and extensive gilding give the plate a particularly rich decorative character. The shaped rim is finished with a gilt edge and repeating geometric and floral panels.
