Edward Locke's porcelain wares closely resembled the works of Royal Worcester porcelain.
Locke was a modeler at the Royal Worcester factory before opening his own shop.
James Hadley the lead modeler at Royal Worcester left their employ around the time that Locke opened his shop, and Hadley rented a studio from Locke.
Both men were sued by the Royal Worcester Company because they used the name 'Worcester' in their trademark logos, which implied the works were of the same ilk.
They were required to remove the 'Worcester' name after 1902.
