FAQs

Flight, Barr & Barr produced soft-paste and hybrid bone china in Worcester between 1813 and 1840, renowned for lavish gilding, rich cobalt blue grounds, and royal armorial commissions during the Regency period.

Pieces were crafted from porcelain pastes and decorated using hand-painted enamel colours alongside mercury gilding, which was fired and burnished to create reflective metallic detailing.

Authentic examples typically feature impressed marks such as FBB beneath a crown, script manufacturer inscriptions on the base, precise gilding execution, and high paste translucency.

Individual pieces or small sets are positioned within lit glazed cabinets, displayed on acrylic stands, or arranged on sideboards and mantelpieces alongside modern glassware.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding detergent or soaking, and never subject gilded porcelain to dishwashers or abrasive polishes.
