Barr, Flight & Barr Worcester Royal Lily Coffee Can/Cup, Antique 19th C

Porcelain : Antique : Worcester : 19th C

 

This spectacular coffee can dates early 19th C, and looks as if it was never used. The Royal Lily pattern is an underglaze blue transfer, and the gilded trim is hand painted on the handle, top and bottom borders, and on the flower inside the can.

The can is 2-1/2" high (6.4 cm), with a top diameter of 2-15/16" (7.5 cm). It is in perfect condition. No chips, no cracks, no crazing, and no wear to the pattern or gilding. It rings when tapped.

This can is unmarked. It has an interesting pattern variation that seems to have been used at Worcester during the BFB period. There are 3 stamens on the lilies instead of just one. I found this variation on an example impressed BFB below a crown. I date this piece 1807-1813.
