A Fine Barr, Flight & Barr Worcester Porcelain Plate C.1807-1813

18th century
Description

A fine Barr, Flight & Barr Worcester Porcelain plate c.1807-1813. The cavetto decorated with a finely hand painted Cone Shell (Conus textile) and Seaweed, perhaps by Thomas Baxter, all reserved on turquoise ground, the border decorated with a continuous finely gilded band including scrolling foliage, Dragon’s heads and gilt stars. 

Thomas Baxter’s name became synonymous with shell painting on Regency Worcester porcelain. Baxter's shell painting is highly distinctive and individual, and always of exceptional quality. He mastered perspective and painted his shells 'from nature'.

Condition: Good with just some minor surface wear and a small restored chip to the reverse

FAQs

Barr, Flight & Barr refers to a specific operational period (18071813) of the famous Worcester porcelain manufactory in England. During this era, the factory produced high-end porcelain featuring elaborate hand-painted decoration, rich gilding, and neoclassical iconography under royal patronage.

Regency ceramics were typically made from soft-paste or hybrid hard-paste porcelain bodies. Decoration involved multi-stage firing, including hand-enamelling by specialised botanical or natural history painters and the application of mercury gilding burnished to a high sheen.

Authentic pieces usually feature impressed factory marks, such as BFB beneath a royal crown, or painted script marks on the underside. Additionally, pieces from this period exhibit exceptional quality in the gilding, precise painted details, and characteristic soft porcelain glaze.

Antique porcelain cabinet plates can be mounted on display stands on sideboards, arranged within glass display cabinets, or secured to walls using wire hangers to create a curated gallery wall in dining rooms or foyers.

Clean antique porcelain gently using lukewarm water and a mild detergent with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges, chemical solvents, and dishwashers, as these will wear away the delicate overglaze enamel painting and hand gilding.
