The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Flight, Barr & Barr refers to the operational period of the Worcester porcelain factory between 1813 and 1840. Production during this era is distinguished by fine bone china, elaborate gilding, and hand-painted decoration inspired by botanical and classical themes.

Regency teacups were crafted from soft-paste porcelain or bone china, fired at high temperatures, and finished with rich ground glazes. Decorative elements were hand-painted using enamel pigments before being accented with mercury gilding and burnished with agate.

Authentic pieces often feature impressed factory marks such as FBB beneath a crown, or script marks detailing the London workshop address. Additionally, high-grade burnished gilding and multi-layered enamel painting are characteristic indicators of manufacture from this period.

Small porcelain items are frequently styled within glazed display cabinets, arranged along mantelpieces, or positioned on open bookshelves to highlight detail while protecting the objects from accidental damage.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and a mild non-abrasive soap, avoiding prolonged soaking. Never wash antique gilt ceramics in a dishwasher, and store them away from direct sunlight and humidity fluctuations.
