Pair of Worcester Barr Flight Barr Porcelain Saucers with Bat-Printed Shells

About the Item

A pair of early transferware English porcelain saucers, made by the Worcester Porcelain Factory during the Barr, Flight & Barr period, 1807-1813. The late 18th and early 19th centuries saw a growing interest in scientific research and rendering. Conchology, or the study of shells, became especially popular at this time. These bat-printed saucers were produced within that context and depict rare and wonderful shells including the conch, cowrie, and bivalve with its pearl. The shell pattern was extremely popular at the Worcester factory; a painted version of this scene by John Baker can be found on extraordinary marble-ground services sold to the upper classes. The saucers are both marked with the impressed BFB Crown mark, which was in use between 1807-1813. Dimensions: 5 1/2 in. D x 1 in. H (13.5 cm D x 2.7 cm H) Condition: Excellent, with some original frit marks. Tiny firing crack visible on back of one saucer measuring 0.4 cm.
