About the Item

This large cup and saucer were hand-painted by Flight Barr and Barr Worcester at the Worcester Porcelain factory around 1820. The vibrant blue ground features an extraordinary shade of blue with just the slightest hint of purple. The blue ground is decorated with lavishly gilded floral designs. In the center of both the cup and the saucer, there is a single iron-red flower accompanied by bright green leaves and tiny buds painted in lighter blue. The decoration also features panels of Kakiemon-style floral designs, hand-painted in iron red, green, and this lighter shade of blue. These colors and the lavish gilding beautifully complement the blue ground, enhancing its intensity. The shape is elegant. Large cups like this were usually used for breakfast when coffee and milk were mixed. Marks: Impressed with FBB under a Royal Crown Dimensions: The saucer 5.75" diameter, the cup 4.5" diameter Condition: Excellent Price: $340 Background of Kakiemon Design on Worcester Porcelain: During the Regency period in England, Kakiemon designs became popular at Worcester Porcelain as part of the broader enthusiasm for Japanese and Chinese porcelain. Kakiemon porcelain is a Japanese style known for its elegant and often asymmetrical designs painted in vibrant colors—typically a palette of iron red, blue, green, and yellow on a white porcelain body (Worcester replaced the yellow with gilt). The style emerged from the Arita kilns in Japan during the 17th century and was named after the famous potter Sakaida Kakiemon. The Kakiemon style conveyed a sense of exoticism and luxury that was highly valued in Regency society.
