Teacup Trio Barr Flight & Barr Maroon and Gilt Neoclassical ca 1812
About the Item
This is a beautiful true trio made by Barr, Flight & Barr, consisting of a teacup, a coffee can and a saucer. The set has a deep maroon ground and a very gracious gilt neoclassical band around the rims.
In the early 19th Century cups and saucers were sold as "true trios"; as you would never drink tea and coffee at the same time, why invest in an extra saucer?
We have several additional trios if desired, please ask or see separate listings.
Barr, Flight & Barr was the continuation of the famous Worcester Porcelain Company. In fact the factory went through various partnerships and names, most of which involved either the name Barr, Flight, or both (or double!). This confusing period in the factory's existence is often called the "Flight & Barr" period. Eventually the factory absorbed some of its spin-offs and was turned into the Royal Worcester, which became very famous in the late 19th and 20th Centuries. During the late 18th and entire 19th Century they were among the leaders of china production, producing exceptionally finely painted and sculpted forms.
Items from the Flight & Barr period are generally of exceptional quality and are highly desired today.
This set has a stunning maroon ground colour, which was very difficult to fire in those days so would have been extremely expensive. The rims are set off with a beautifully restrained Neoclassical gilt rim.
The items are marked with the impressed crowned BFB mark, as well as a printed mark of the BFB retail outlet in Coventry Street, London.
CONDITION REPORT The set is in excellent condition without any damage, repairs or crazing. There is some light wear to the maroon ground - this colour was hard to fire in those days and usually did not withstand rubbing very well.
Antique British porcelain is never perfect. Kilns were fired on coal in the 1800s, and this meant that china from that period can have some firing specks from flying particles. British makers were also known for their experimentation, and sometimes this resulted in technically imperfect results. Due to the shrinkage in the kiln, items can have small firing lines or develop crazing over time, which should not be seen as damage but as an imperfection of the maker's recipes, probably unknown at the time of making. Items have often been used for many years and can have normal signs of wear, and gilt can have signs of slight disintegration even if never handled. I will reflect any damage, repairs, obvious stress marks, crazing or heavy wear in the item description but some minor scratches, nicks, stains and gilt disintegration can be normal for vintage items and need to be taken into account.
There is widespread confusion on the internet about the difference between chips and nicks, or hairlines and cracks. I will reflect any damage as truthfully as I can, i.e. a nick is a tiny bit of damage smaller than 1mm and a chip is something you can easily see with the eye; a glazing line is a break in the glazing only; hairline is extremely tight and/or superficial and not picked up by the finger; and a crack is obvious both to the eye and the finger. Etcetera - I try to be as accurate as I can and please feel free to ask questions or request more detailed pictures!
