Worcester Dragon in Compartments Coffee Cup and Saucer, C.1820

18th century
For Sale by Ritas Bazaar
Description

An elegant antique Worcester porcelain coffee cup and saucer dating to the Flight, Barr & Barr period of the early 19th century. The cup and matching saucer are decorated in the celebrated Dragon in Compartments pattern, featuring a sinuous oriental dragon alternating with reserves of precious objects and floral motifs within richly gilded panels.

The vivid famille-verte palette of iron-red, emerald green, cobalt blue, soft yellow and purple is enhanced with finely tooled gilt rims. The pattern, inspired by Chinese Kangxi prototypes, became one of Worcester's most admired decorative schemes by the Regency period. Comparable examples appear within the historic Flight Collection.

Dimensions:

Combined weight of the pair: 228 g

Cup: height 6.7 cm; diameter 6.8 cm; width with handle 9 cm

Saucer: diameter 13.2 cm; height 3.3 cm

Condition:

Saucer: minor wear to the gilding, otherwise excellent antique condition. Examined under UV light, with no cracks, breaks or overpainting detected.

Please study the accompanying photographs carefully as they form an integral part of this description. If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them. The item will be shipped with full tracking and insurance. It is important to note that shipping costs include labour, packaging and postage.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Developed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the Dragon in Compartments pattern was inspired by imported Chinese Kangxi period porcelain. It was adapted by English manufactories such as Worcester and Spode to satisfy European demand for Chinoiserie ceramics.

Regency English coffee cups were constructed from soft-paste or bone china porcelain, decorated with mineral-based enamel pigments and hand-gilded with gold leaf prior to firing.

Authentic pieces exhibit translucency, specific factory marks under the base, hand-applied enamel details with raised surface texture, and precise gilding consistent with historic production techniques.

Individual display pieces can be placed inside glazed cabinets, styled on open shelving units alongside contemporary glassware, or arranged atop stacked books on a side table for contrast.

Wash by hand using lukewarm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding abrasive sponges, harsh chemical cleaners, or modern dishwashers that strip surface gilding and dull enamel pigments.
