This Regency-period decorative ceramic rose water sprinkler comes from the Flight, Barr & Barr Worcester manufactory around 1815. Fashioned from white porcelain with gold leaf gilding and pink enamel paint, the classical vessel has a bird-form spout with outstretched wings, a serpent scroll handle, and a flamiform stopper detailed with white pearl-like protrusions. The body is decorated with hand-painted scattered pink roses and forget-me-nots front and back, sitting upon a square plinth base with gilded mouldings, while a black script mark with the Coventry Street address appears on the underside. The object measures 10.5 cm high. In a modern home, this delicate piece functions as an ornamental accessory suitable for display on a mantelpiece in a drawing room, study, or cabinet display. The white and pink glazed porcelain surface contrasts with the polished gold highlights on the hardware and the gilded edges of the square base, creating an elegant focal point in traditional interiors.

FAQs

A rose water sprinkler is a specialised vessel produced during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries designed to disperse scented liquid in domestic interiors.

These items were predominantly crafted from soft-paste or bone china porcelain, decorated with hand-painted enamel floral motifs and heavily burnished gold leaf gilding.

Authentic pieces from this period frequently feature impressed marks such as FBB under a crown, alongside refined mercury gilding and precise miniature floral enamelling.

This type of decorative vessel can be displayed on a mantelpiece, inside a glass display cabinet, or alongside contemporary ceramics to create a curated vignette.

Dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or camel-hair brush, avoiding abrasive chemicals, water immersion, or rubbing that could strip the delicate gilding.
