About the Item

An early Worcester Flight & Barr bright yellow beaker with gilding and a finely painted sepia scene of a landscape. The scene, possibly painted by John Pennington, shows two figures looking at a ship sailing out to sea before a cliffside fort, a figure walking with a donkey, and a group of grazing deer. The Worcester Porcelain Factory was responsible for some of England’s best and earliest porcelain, first creating a porcelain recipe around 1750. This yellow beaker was created during the Flight and Barr period of the factory (1792-1804) which, under the direction of Joseph Flight and Martin Barr, saw the development of a harder paste porcelain and a new glaze that more resembled fine French porcelain. French stylistic influence can indeed be observed in this Flight and Barr Worcester beaker: Neoclassical Empire gilded details frame a vaguely Rococo bucolic scene that recollects Marie Antoinette’s Petit Hameau. Dimensions: 3 1/2 in. Dm x 3 3/4 in. H Condition: Excellent. A few scratches to yellow enamel. Some light rubbing to gilding along rim. Provenance: Hyde Park Antiques Steppes Hill Farm Antiques, Sittingbourne, 12 November 1993
