Palissy was created in 1853.
Palissy ended in 1988.
Info I have researched for a Palissy Fruit vase says that Palissy was founded in 1946 and joined a Royal Worcester-Spode group in 1976. Palissy closed in 1989 and the factory was destroyed. So, yes, it was a division of Royal Worcester-Spode.
Bernard Palissy was approximately in his 30s when he made his observations on the water cycle. He published his findings in his work "Discours admirables" in 1580.

He appears to have been a 19th-century ceramicist involved with the Palissy ceramic tradition, begun in the 16th century by Bernard Palissy (1510-90) and rediscovered 250 years later. An example of his work can be seen at http://www.palissy.com/

Bernard Palissy was a famous French potter and his wares have a high value if in perfect condition. You need to have your item either looked at by a top notch antiques dealer or one of the valuers in a high quality auction room with an acknowledged panel of experts and valuers on their staff. You also might try Googling "Palissy" to see whether any similar examples have been sold recently. The latter is how I recently valued some Gardner porcelain figures that I recently bought.
Royal Worcester Palissy dinnerware is generally not recommended for use in a dishwasher due to its decorative glazes and intricate designs, which can be damaged by harsh detergents and high temperatures. To preserve the quality and longevity of the pieces, hand washing with mild soap and water is advised. Always check the specific care instructions provided with your dinnerware for the best guidance.

The "Dorchester whippet" likely refers to a specific breed of dog known for its slender build and graceful demeanor, often associated with the Dorchester area. In this context, the image of a sitting girl with a whippet evokes a sense of companionship and tranquility, highlighting the bond between humans and their pets. The term "palissy" may refer to a style or technique, perhaps related to the artistic representation of this scene. Overall, it captures a serene moment that showcases the beauty of both the dog and the girl.
From the sounds of it, it could be a ming original. Hard to tell without proper inspection, but i think you're looking at about £400, give or take.
