Worcester Porcelain Cup and Saucer in Dragon in Compartments Pattern, Flight Barr & Barr, C.1815

18th century
For Sale by Ritas Bazaar
Description

English porcelain cup and saucer from the Flight, Barr & Barr period, produced at the Worcester Porcelain Manufactory between 1813 and 1840. The sixteen-sided fluted form with concave scalloped walls is decorated in the renowned Dragon in Compartments pattern, featuring a dragon and kylin in alternating lobed panels with reserves of vases and precious objects. Executed in vibrant famille-verte enamels with restrained gilding to rims and handle. Introduced at Worcester in the late 1760s, this pattern became one of the factory’s most prestigious and long-established decorative designs, continuing through the Regency era when Worcester porcelain reached exceptional technical and artistic standards.

The bases bear the impressed crowned FBB mark and retain a collector’s label from The Flight Collection, formed by Lord Howard Emerson Flight, descendant of the original Worcester proprietors. Selected pieces from this historic family collection have appeared at Bonhams and Toovey’s auctions in recent years.

FAQs

Flight, Barr & Barr period Worcester porcelain, produced between 1813 and 1840, is distinguished by high-quality soft-paste porcelain bodies, intricate gilding, and finely detailed hand-painted enamel decoration, frequently incorporating Chinoiserie and Imari patterns.

Pieces from this period were crafted from soft-paste porcelain, glazed, and decorated using overglaze enamel pigments applied by hand. Honey gilding was subsequently painted and fired onto the rims and handles before being burnished.

Authentic examples typically feature impressed marks such as FBB beneath a crown, or script marks painted on the base. Examination of hand-applied enamel brushwork, precise fluting, and characteristic burnished gold details also aids identification.

Single cups and saucers are frequently placed on open shelving, displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, or arranged atop sideboards alongside other period decorative objects to create structured tabletop vignettes.

Antique porcelain decorated with overglaze enamels and gilding should be cleaned exclusively by hand using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Dishwashers, abrasive sponges, and prolonged soaking must be avoided to prevent enamel wear and gilding loss.
