Early 19th Century Worcester Porcelain Bowl, Dragon in Compartments Pattern, C. 1815

19th century
For Sale by Ritas Bazaar
Description

An antique English porcelain bowl produced at the Worcester Porcelain Manufactory during the Flight, Barr & Barr period. The form is finely potted with gently rising sides and a lightly everted rim, finished with a delicate gilt edge characteristic of Regency Worcester tablewares.

The decoration is executed in the celebrated Dragon in Compartments pattern. Four lobed cartouches on the exterior enclose a dragon and a qilin, separated by reserves of symbolic precious objects. The interior mirrors the scheme with four identical panels of auspicious objects arranged symmetrically. The full composition represents the complete version of this famous Worcester design adapted to a bowl form.

Inspired by Chinese Kangxi famille-verte porcelain, the pattern was introduced at Worcester in the 1760s and remained one of the factory’s most highly regarded decorative schemes into the early nineteenth century.

A paper label from “The Flight Collection”, numbered 127, confirms provenance from the distinguished Flight family collection of Regency Worcester porcelain.

FAQs

The Dragon in Compartments pattern, also known as the Kylin or Bengal Tiger pattern, is a classic Chinoiserie design introduced on English porcelain in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It features alternate panels of mythical beast-like creatures and stylized floral scrollwork executed in vibrant enamel colours.

During this period, Worcester porcelain was crafted from soft-paste or hybrid bone china formulations. The decorative patterns were applied by skilled artisans using overglaze enamel paints and burnished liquid gold gilding, which was fired multiple times in low-temperature kilns.

Authentic pieces from circa 1800 to 1820 display characteristic translucency, precise hand-painted enamelling, and high-quality gilding along rims and footrings. Some examples bear impressed or painted factory marks, such as Flight, Barr & Barr or Chamberlains Worcester, though unmarked items are also common.

These decorative ceramic items serve as focal points when positioned on dark wood sideboards, inside lit display cabinets, or at the centre of a dining table. The bright enamels pair effectively with both contemporary minimalist backgrounds and traditional layered schemes.

Antique porcelain decorated with overglaze enamels and hand gilding should be cleaned exclusively by hand using lukewarm water and mild soap. Abrasive sponges, harsh chemicals, and dishwashers must be avoided to prevent wear to the delicate metallic leaf and painted surfaces.
