Spring 2007 sees the introduction of new lines to Royal Worcester as well as extensions to existing favourites. Not all items are available immediately with some new introductions scheduled to be launched later in the year. Kings and Queens have included all new products on their web site but would like to make clear that some items may be subject to delay.

New Lines

There are 5 new collections introduced to Royal Worcester appealing to all tastes. For the young and the young at heart Enid Blyton's Noddy is the bases of a new selection of giftware and Figurines. Mugs, Bowls and Plates offers practical presents for birthdays and christenings and the attractive and appealing carry cases for the 2 piece and 3 piece sets make these ideal presents. Initially the figurine collection includes the four main characters, Noddy, Big Ears, PC Plod and Tessie Bear. Beautifully made to Royal Worcester's high standard and hand painted these timeless classic figures are the antiques of the future.

The Figurine Collections are also joined by the new whimsical "9 Lives" range. Based on the antics of the average cat but given a human twist, this collection is sure to raise a smile. Attractively boxes these figures make the perfect present to cat lovers and anyone who has found themselves in a feline pickle!
A New designer to join Royal Worcester in 2007 is Nel Whatmore. Her art is bright and bold with vibrant summer flowers in striking colours decorating a range of quality giftware. The collection is also practical including a range of mugs, jugs and platters which would be perfect for summer afternoon tea in an English garden.

Another new departure for Royal Worcester is the introduction of 24% Lead Crystal Glassware.
The Glassware comes in 4 designs: Swirl, Harmony, Grace and Twist. There are both traditional and contemporary ranges available and this high quality Crystal Glassware should appear to all tastes. The glasses are available as either a set of 6, offered in a spectacular silk lined presentation box or as sets of 2. This makes the glassware the perfect wedding or special occasion present or easily collectable in pairs for your own use.

To mark the Queens Diamond Wedding Anniversary Royal Worcester have launched a commemorative giftware collection. Including two limited edition pieces, this collection represents a shrewd future investment as well as marking a wonderful personal achievement for the Queen and Prince Phillip. Richly decorated in blue and gold each piece is hand decorated to Royal Worcester's own exacting standards.

The Classic Collections

There are 2 new extensions to the Classic Collections. 2007 sees the launch of the new Mirage Range. Originally scheduled for the second half of 2006 this new twist on White Ware is sure to prove popular. In addition Classic White gets a new

contemporary twist with the introduction of a square accent range. Available in the most popular tableware items the new accent shape allows you to personalise your collection to reflect your individual tastes.

Jamie Oliver

The Jamie Oliver Cheeky Mugs collection sees the introduction of 4 new titles. Cutie Pie, Babe Magnet, Sex Bomb and Clever Clogs join the existing titles to ensure that there is truly a mug for every one.

Also new for 2007 is Jamie Oliver Cutlery. Available as a 30 piece set complimented by 2 serving spoon attractively boxed making it a great present or a must have extension to your Jamie Oliver collection.
Jamie Oliver's unique sense of humour and informal and practical attitude to cooking has made his Royal Worcester Collection an astonishing success. The new items introduced this year extend and compliment the existing range.

Lavish Mugs

Four new flamboyant designs are introduced to the Laurence Llewelyn Bowen Lavish Mug range. Bright and bold colours, the trade mark of Laurence's unique style, are the main theme. Georgienne, Glamourflage, Kinky and Tiffin are added to the existing range.

We would like to begin by wishing all our customers a Happy New Year and thank you all for your support in 2006.

Christmas had many problems but the most difficult problem was waiting times.
It is not possible for us to hold stocks of all items but we do endeavour to hold the most popular lines. Unfortunately it was difficult to get hold of any stock over Christmas and Royal Worcester took far too long to fulfil our orders.
We apologise for the disappointment and inconvenience this caused some of our customers and we continue to strive to improve the situation. Some older and well established companies take longer to appreciate the demands of internet trading and although our other partners such as Portmeirion and Denby seem to have embraced the changing market place we think Royal Worcester, and its sister company Spode, need a little more convincing.

Royal Worcester have started 2007 rationalising their product base.
We say goodbye to some complete ranges and see a slimming of others. To go completely are the Lord Nelson Ranges, the Nursery Rhyme Range, all China Boxes, all Tea for One Giftware, Art Deco Mugs and the Guardian Angel Collection.

Figurines

Almost all ranges of Royal Worcester Figurines have now been retired leaving only the Moments Series, Days Of The Week and Months Of The Year collections

Tableware

All Tableware sees the retirements of the 21cm Soup / Cereal Bowl, Small/Medium sugar bowl and undecorated Salt and Peppers. Evesham looses some of its giftware and cookware items and all its accessories. Worcester Herbs and Holly Ribbons also loose their giftware ranges. Jamie Oliver Collection retires Vintage Chic and there are retirements in Giftware in the Flower Fairies, Days of the Week, Egg coddlers, VIP Cups and Saucers and Leather Frames collections.

We aim to offer the same friendly and professional service which has come to be the trade mark of The Kings and Queens Group since the launch of our first site 2001.
