Flight and Barr Saucer, C.1810 and Reflect Gold Teacup
Produced in approximately 1810 by Flight and Barr, a continuation of the original Worcester factory, this brightly restrained saucer is a beautiful example of the popular Neoclassical Regency style. With a bright ground colour and restrained and elegant gilding, the style was a balance of a beautiful oxymoron, bold yet dainty. The delicate strawberry illustrations were an incredibly popular design feature that stood for the feminine values of spring and righteous love, perfect for a tea service. The intricate gilding mirrors beautifully in our Reflect gold teacup, bringing the elegance of the Regency era to contemporary life.
Antique British porcelain is never perfect. During the 1800s, kilns were fired on coal resulting in some firing specks at times, whilst makers were known for their experimentation that sometimes resulted in technically imperfect results. As a result, each saucer is truly unique and a small piece of history that has survived centuries to find its new home with you. Our pricing reflects the condition of each piece, and we ask that you embrace the small imperfections that reflect the rich past of British porcelain. This piece has a small amount of wear and imperfections due to its age, and is a more common piece to have survived.
Each teacup and saucer set comes with a handwritten gift card detailing the history of the antique saucer.
