Worcester Porcelain Trio, Flight Period, C. 1785.

18th century
Description

Worcester porcelain trio, Flight period, c. 1785. The teaware, finely potted with ‘shanked’ moulding, and beautifully hand painted with sprays of flowers, surrounded by smaller sprigs of flowers, and having gilt rims.

The porcelain is actually a brilliant white, which has been difficult to convey in the images.

I do have several more trios from this service available.

Height of coffee cup – 6.3 cm, 2”.

Diameter of saucer – 14 cm, 5 1/2”.

Condition – Excellent. No damage. No restoration.

This antique tea trio suits display upon a sideboard top within an English country house interior, bringing eighteenth-century elegance to a dining room or living space.

FAQs

The Flight period of Worcester porcelain spans from 1783 to 1792, following Joseph Flights purchase of the factory. Items from this era often display delicate spiralled or fluted moulding, neoclassical shapes, hand-painted floral sprays, and refined gilded borders.

Worcester porcelain of this era was produced using a soft-paste soaprock body, which allowed for thin, durable walls. Pieces were decorated with hand-applied enamel paints and detailed with mercury gilding before being fired.

Authentic Flight period pieces often feature incised B marks, open or crescent marks, or the painted name Flight. Visual characteristics include distinctive spiral-ribbed fluting, soft translucent glaze, and hand-painted enamel details.

Antique porcelain trios are best displayed inside glazed cabinetry, on open dresser shelves, or curated atop a sideboard. Arranging them alongside contemporary glassware or minimal background decor highlights their historic craftsmanship.

Hand wash pieces gently in lukewarm water using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid abrasive sponges, chemical cleaners, dishwashers, and microwaves, as these cause wear to delicate enamel painting and gilding.
