Set of Six Antique Worcester Dishes English Imari Pink & Blue 1792–1803

$560.00

This set of porcelain dishes was hand-painted by Flight Barr Worcester between 1792 and 1803.
Each of the six dishes can be seen in one of the first three images.
The pattern features delicate floral sprays in soft strawberry pink, orange, and rich cobalt blue, accented with gilt highlights.
The design is an English interpretation of the traditional Imari palette.
A stylized central bouquet anchors the composition, while four large floral sprays around the border create a balanced design.
The beautiful decoration is heightened by a finely painted gilt rim.
The pattern reflects the neoclassical taste for symmetry and delicacy, as well as the broader English fascination with East Asian decorative themes, which are reimagined here as English Imari.
Worcester porcelain from this period is renowned for its high-quality body, precise painting, and understated elegance.

Dimensions: 8.35″ diameter

Condition: Excellent

Marks: The late 18th century Flight Barr Worcester mark “FB under a crown is lightly impressed on the reverse of one of the dishes

Background of Imari porcelains

In the late 17th century, Japanese potters in Arita began producing export porcelains featuring iron-red, cobalt blue, and elaborate gilt designs to cater to European consumers.
As the wares were shipped abroad from the port of Imari, this category of brilliantly enameled porcelain was conventionally known as “Imari ware.”
From the 18th century, English artisans followed the Japanese example and manufactured similar Imari-style porcelain products, known as “Japan” patterns.
