Royal Worcester "Bacchanal"

Royal Worcester Bacchanal is a discontinued tableware pattern featuring a decorative grapevine design with purple grapes, green vine leaves and fine trailing tendrils. The pattern has a traditional, elegant feel, with gold edging adding a more formal finish to plates, bowls and serving pieces.

The name Bacchanal reflects the grape and vine theme, with the decoration circling the border rather than filling the centre of the piece. This gives the range a classic tableware look, decorative around the edge while leaving the main eating surface clear and practical.

One important point when matching Royal Worcester Bacchanal is that more than one background version exists. The earlier or more traditional version is generally seen with a cream or off-white ground (with a pattern number of Z2243), while a later white-background (pattern number Z2822) version is also found. Replacement sources list these separately as Bacchanal Cream and Bacchanal White, so the difference is worth checking before ordering.

For many customers, Bacchanal is a pattern they are trying to keep in regular use. As a discontinued Royal Worcester range, it is often sought out by those looking to replace a broken dinner plate, find a missing bowl, or add useful serving pieces to an existing set.

Availability depends entirely on what becomes available through the pre-loved market. When matching Bacchanal, please check the background colour, shape and size carefully, as cream and white versions may not sit quite the same within an existing service.
