About the Item

This is a set of five exceptional plates made by Flight Barr and Barr Worcester in England circa 1820. Each plate features a delicate hand-painted shell in a roundel at the center. The plates have a gorgeous aquamarine ground and a gilded border. The aquamarine color adds to the nautical theme of the dishes, while the gilded border is decorated with a repeating aquatic pattern of shells and small white pearls. These beautiful plates have a rich history, having been made by Flight Barr and Barr Worcester.* CONDITION: They are in excellent condition with only slight fading of the aquamarine enamel. DIMENSIONS: 8.35" in diameter. PRICE: $3,400 One of the plates from this set is featured in "The Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain," Volume 1, 1751-1851, by John Sandon. (See color plate 76 on page 300). Sandon notes that the shell painting on this plate "was probably by John Barker." BACKGROUND ON JOHN BARKER AT WORCESTER: According to "The Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain," John Barker was a landscape painter who also excelled at painting shells. Flight's factory records him as such, although no signed pieces are known by John Barker. However, Sandon writes in "The Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain," "There remains a large group of pieces (with shell painting) mostly from the Barr Flight and Barr period painted with shells seemingly by a single hand (see Colour Plates 76 and 77). The fine weed in the background of these compositions is grouped into tiny clumps of filaments in contrast to the more dendritic treatment of Samuel Smith. It is reasonable to conjecture that these pieces are the work of John Barker." The style of painting with this seaweed background matches that on our five plates. BACKGROUND OF *FLIGHT BARR AND BARR WORCESTER: Flight Barr Barr Worcester were manufacturers to their Majesties. According to the Worcester Porcelain Museum, "During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Chinese porcelain was a great status symbol. Worcester produced a magnificent alternative, whiter with brighter colors and more readily available, becoming the height of fashion in the early 19th century. The customer accounts of this period would read like a 'who's who' of the day. Rich personalized services were made for the wealthiest customers, including Tzar Alexander I, The Duke of York, King George III, King William IV, The Duke of Clarence, The Imam of Muscat, The Marquis of Buckingham, and the Nabob of Oude."
