What are “Hadley Roses” on Royal Worcester porcelain?

"Hadley Roses" is a collector's term for delicately painted rose decorations associated with the Hadley style associated with Hadley & Sons. The Royal Worcester Museum describes the Hadley decorators and notes that delicately painted roses in the Hadley style later became known among collectors as "Hadley Roses." These pieces may feature romantic, muted palettes, blooming roses, and a refined, painterly look rather than sharp-edged, transferred prints. If you are trying to confirm that a piece is in the Hadley style, pay attention to the quality of the brushstroke, the shading of the petals, and whether the overall palette appears restrained. Check the base for a Royal Worcester mark that matches the suspected period. There are many "rose" designs in British pottery, so both style and mark matching are important.
