Antique Flight, Barr & Barr Worcester Armorial Dessert Plate for Baron Hawke, C.1815

18th century
Description

A fine antique English soft-paste porcelain armorial dessert plate, made by Flight, Barr & Barr at the Royal Porcelain Works, Worcester, circa 1815. The richly hand-painted border is a refined Worcester interpretation of the Imari palette, combining green, pink, iron-red and orange enamels with extensive burnished gilding, notably without cobalt blue.

The central crest is that of the Barons Hawke: a rising ermine hawk bearing a gold fleur-de-lis, with the motto STRIKE beneath a baron's coronet. It was commissioned for Edward Hawke-Harvey, 3rd Baron Hawke, and formed part of a formal aristocratic dinner service.

The reverse bears both the impressed crowned FBB mark and the circular puce Flight, Barr & Barr mark. The latter identifies the Royal Porcelain Works at Worcester and the firm's London warehouse at No. 1 Coventry Street.

Dimensions: weight 497 g; diameter 23.6 cm; height 2.8 cm.

Condition: excellent antique condition, with only light rubbing to the gilding. The enamels and burnished gold decoration remain exceptionally well preserved.

Note for internal reference: include the close-up photograph of the underside showing the impressed mark clearly — it is an important part of this listing's documentation.

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. Shipping costs include handling, packaging and postage.

This Georgian Regency period dessert plate measures 2.8 cm high, 23.6 cm wide, and 23.6 cm deep. Made by Flight, Barr & Barr at Worcester around 1815, the circular white porcelain piece has a gilded rim and an Imari-palette floral border in green, pink, iron-red, and orange enamels. The central armorial motif displays a bird beneath a coronet with a banner reading STRIKE. The glaze is glossy and clean, with light rubbing to the gilding on the rim. In a modern interior, this plate serves as a decorative display piece on a sideboard top or within a cabinet. It fits traditional and classic room settings as a focal item on a flat surface.

FAQs

Flight, Barr & Barr produced English porcelain in Worcester during the Regency period, specifically between 1813 and 1840, renowned for detailed hand-painted enamel decoration, armorial motifs, and rich gilding.

These pieces were crafted from soft-paste or hybrid porcelain bodies, hand-painted with ceramic enamel pigments, and finished with gilt borders using leaf gold before undergoing multiple kiln firings.

Authentic examples often feature impressed marks, such as FBB under a crown, or painted script marks on the underside, accompanied by fine hand painting and heavy gilding consistent with early nineteenth-century production.

Armorial plates can be displayed on plate stands atop a console or sideboard, placed inside a glass cabinet, or mounted on a wall as part of a curated gallery arrangement.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and clean with lukewarm water and mild soap when required, avoiding abrasive materials, harsh detergents, or immersion in hot water to protect the gilded surface.
