Barr Flight Barr Milk Jug Creamer, Rich Imari Pattern, Regency 1810-1813

$530List Price

About the Item

This is a stunning little milk jug made by Barr Flight Barr between 1810 and 1813. It is decorated with what is often called the "Rich Imari" pattern, and sometimes the "crazy Japan" pattern. I also have a plate available in this pattern, see separate listing. Flight Barr Barr was the continuation of the famous Worcester Porcelain Company. In fact the factory went through various partnerships and names, most of which involved either the name Barr, Flight, or both (or double!). This confusing period in the factory's existence is often called the "Flight Barr" period. Eventually the factory absorbed some of its spin-offs and was turned into the Royal Worcester, which became very famous in the late 19th and 20th Centuries. During the late 18th and entire 19th Century they were among the leaders of china production, producing exceptionally finely painted and sculpted forms. This milk jug is painted with the famous "Rich Imari" pattern, sometimes called the "Crazy Japan pattern" - you can see why! It was first designed around 1810 and then in 1811 the newly installed Prince Regent George commissioned a huge set in this pattern for use in his equally outrageously designed seaside Pavilion in Brighton. The pattern consists of a jumble 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 pattern went on to become one of Flight Barr's most popular designs for several decades. There are several variants of this pattern, sometimes called "Imari Fence"; the original factory name was "Japan". The jug has the impressed "BFB" mark, which was used between 1804 and 1813. CONDITION REPORT The jug is in perfect antique condition without any damage, repairs or crazing and not even any wear, as visible in the pictures. Antique British porcelain is never perfect. Kilns were fired on coal in the 1800s, and this meant that china from that period can have some firing specks from flying particles. British makers were also known for their experimentation, and sometimes this resulted in technically imperfect results. Due to the shrinkage in the kiln, items can have small firing lines or develop crazing over time, which should not be seen as damage but as an imperfection of the maker's recipes, probably unknown at the time of making. Items have often been used for many years and can have normal signs of wear, and gilt can have signs of slight disintegration even if never handled. I will reflect any damage, repairs, obvious stress marks, crazing or heavy wear in the item description but some minor scratches, nicks, stains and gilt disintegration can be normal for vintage items and need to be taken into account. There is widespread confusion on the internet about the difference between chips and nicks, or hairlines and cracks. I will reflect any damage as truthfully as I can, i.e. a nick is a tiny bit of damage smaller than 1mm and a chip is something you can easily see with the eye; a glazing line is a break in the glazing only; hairline is extremely tight and/or superficial and not picked up by the finger; and a crack is obvious both to the eye and the finger. Etcetera - I try to be as accurate as I can and please feel free to ask questions or request more detailed pictures! DIMENSIONS 15cm (5.9") between handle and mouth
