A Flight Barr and Barr Worcester Porcelain Coffee Can & Saucer c.1815

A Flight Barr and Barr Worcester Porcelain Coffee Can and Saucer c.1815-1820

Decorated with an English chinoiserie Japan pattern scene. A scholar stands in his garden, around him are the traditional scholar's rock and a flowering tree. Using Imari colours as a beginning, the artists at Worcester added Famille Rose pastels and elaborate gilding to create this design.

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.
