You have misunderstood my point. I admit, my word choice was poor (and I apologise for that), but I am stating that famous products made in a city don't necessarily have a huge impact on the city's notability. And I actually have come across both items quite frequently, and am fond of both, but simply do not attribute their importance with that of Worcester, UK. Many may be familiar witrh Royal Worcester, but I doubt that even American antique dealers are familiar with the city from which they came.The items make the city notable, but it does not surpass Worcester, MA in notability.
