Unmarked, as is often the case with this factory in this period; attribution rests on body, glaze, palette and the characteristic gilding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Worcester porcelain works went through a succession of partnerships in the early 19th century: Flight \u0026amp; Barr (1792-1804), Barr, Flight \u0026amp; Barr (1804-1813) and finally Flight, Barr \u0026amp; Barr (1813-1840), before amalgamating with the rival Chamberlains factory in 1840 to form what would eventually become the Royal Worcester Porcelain Company. Throughout this period Flight, Barr \u0026amp; Barr held royal warrants and produced porcelain of the highest quality, with particularly accomplished gilding for which the factory remains celebrated. Comparable patterns and gilding styles are illustrated in Henry Sandon's \u003cem\u003eFlight and Barr Worcester Porcelain 1783-1840\u003c\/em\u003e (Antique Collectors' Club).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach plate measures approximately \u003cstrong\u003e17cm in diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e. The decoration is of high quality with crisp gilding, well-controlled enamels and a bright white body characteristic of FBB.
