A Flight, Barr & Barr Worcester Porcelain Coffee Can & Saucer in Japan Pattern c.1815

A Flight, Barr & Barr Worcester Porcelain Coffee Can & Saucer c.1815.  Finely decorated with a bold Japan pattern.

This popular pattern dates from c.1810 and was inspired by Japanese Imari wares and porcelain produced by Meissen. Flight & Barr made this luxuriant and exotic design with brightly painted enamels and lavish and brilliant gilding.  This pattern consists of a mix of Japanese Imari-inspired bright flowers, trees, birds, rocks, stars, a bridge, a pagoda and a fence in wonderfully clashing colours, beautifully painted and gilded with bold strokes. The panels are separated by dividing panels with "mons", the stylised Japanese chrysanthemum flowers that symbolise prosperity.

Impressed FBB marks

Condition: Some wear to the gilding around the rim
