Antique Flight Barr Barr Worcester Porcelain Cups & Saucers Cobalt Blue Gold Gilt Set. A beautiful antique English porcelain part tea set by Flight, Barr & Barr (FBB), Worcester, comprising two cups and three matching saucers, richly decorated in deep cobalt blue with finely hand-applied gilt ornament.

The mark FBB refers to Flight, Barr & Barr, one of the most important early porcelain manufacturers in Worcester, England, active during the late 18th and early 19th century. The Flight & Barr partnership later evolved into Barr, Flight & Barr and became a key part of the historic Worcester porcelain tradition. Pieces bearing the FBB mark are now highly regarded and collected as authentic English antique porcelain. The cup is further enhanced by its beautifully modelled gilt handle with a distinctive sculptural form, a refined detail characteristic of finer early English porcelain, adding both elegance and collectability to the piece. The base also carries a collector's label reading "The Flight Collection", indicating that this piece previously formed part of a named Flight family collection. Such labels are commonly found on curated collections and contribute to the provenance and charm of the set. A highly decorative and collectible group - ideal for collectors of early English porcelain, elegant display, or refined interior styling. Maker: Flight, Barr & Barr (FBB), Worcester.
