About the Item

This vibrant pair of antique English porcelain cups and saucers was hand-painted by Barr Flight Barr at the Worcester Porcelain factory between 1807 and 1813. In my shop, we refer to this as “Mario’s pattern,” named in honor of the late interior designer Mario Buatta, who began his firm in 1963 and was a devoted client for decades. Whenever pieces in this pattern appeared, we saved them for Mario. The cups and saucers are painted in an opulent Imari palette of gem-like enamels in iron red, deep cobalt blue, and gold, enriched by the unexpected additions of pink, turquoise, purple, green, and pale blue. The design is bold, joyful, and full of layered detail—an outstanding example of English Imari style porcelain from the Barr Flight Barr period. The decoration is exuberant and richly detailed, featuring large stylized flowers, garden fences, rockwork, and a bird in flight. The plates have a unique beauty. Dimensions: Saucers 5.5" in diameter, cups 2.5" tall x 3.25" in diameter Condition: Excellent Marks: with impressed “BFB” Worcester mark Price: $580

Haviland Limoges Hand Painted Pair of Porcelain Cups & Saucers, France 1894-1931
By Haviland & Co.
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Set of 2 demitasse cups and 2 saucers was made by Haviland & Cie in Limoges, France. The Art Deco style form of a footed cups, with 3 small ball feet, is rather rare and hard to find, especially in coffee or demitasse size. In this set the pieces were hand painted by a professional artist in a decorating studio with Victorian style motif of pink English roses. Calm light pink and green colors are accentuated by bright gold rims and gold trim on handles and ball feet; crisp white color of semi-translucent porcelain showcases the soft, delicate decor without overpowering it. The pieces are marked with green underglaze manufacturer mark Haviland France that dates to 1894-1931. The set is in very good antique condition with minimal wear on gold that is appropriate to its age. The advent of Arts and Craft Movement created the notion that the aesthetic quality of everyday utilitarian objects could be improved by merit of craftsmanship, and many painters and artists felt inspired to merge their activities into decorative arts, such as ceramics, decor objects, or dinnerware. Large number of wholesale and retail firms, such as Pickard, Stouffer, or Brauer studios, and many high-end department stores that carried factory decorated Limoges's porcelain, had their own china decorating departments and produced high quality hand painted porcelain. Undecorated Haviland china...
