Pair of Worcester Barr Flight Barr Porcelain Saucers with Bat-Printed Shells
About the Item
A pair of early transferware English porcelain saucers, made by the Worcester Porcelain Factory during the Barr, Flight & Barr period, 1807-1813.
The late 18th and early 19th centuries saw a growing interest in scientific research and rendering. Conchology, or the study of shells, became especially popular at this time. These bat-printed saucers were produced within that context and depict rare and wonderful shells including the conch, cowrie, and bivalve with its pearl. The shell pattern was extremely popular at the Worcester factory; a painted version of this scene by John Baker can be found on extraordinary marble-ground services sold to the upper classes.
The saucers are both marked with the impressed BFB Crown mark, which was in use between 1807-1813.

- A Barr, Flight & Barr Worcester Porcelain Armorial Fruit Cooler c.1810By Barr, Flight & Barr WorcesterLocated in Exeter, GBA magnificent and rare Barr, Flight & Barr Porcelain Fruit Cooler c.1804-1813. Superbly decorated with a continuous deep orange ground band and heavily gilded, highly detailed rams head handles, greek key motif to header and a crowned deer armorial crest to the front and reverse. The fruit cooler is one of the rarest and most coveted tableware pieces amongst antique porcelain. This example is even more valuable with its original liner and lid. Impressed mark to underside. The first record of ice cream in Britain is 1671 on the menu of a feast for the Knights of the Garter held in St. George's Hall at Windsor Castle. At this time it was considered such an exclusive dish that it appeared only on the king's table. The earliest printed recipe appeared in Mrs Eale's Receipts, a work on confectionary which was published in London, 1718. It was not until the second half of the 18th century that ices became more readily available from confectioner's shops, and these pails were commonly found on upper class homes' sideboards to be used for a dessert of ice cream with cut fruit. If ice alone is used to fill the cover and the bucket, the ice cream melts very quickly. Although there is nothing recorded in literature, it is almost certain that a little salt was sprinkled on the ice. Porcelain is the ideal material for ice cream pails...Category
