An important Barr, Flight and Barr dessert service painted by William Billingsley

circa 1810
finely painted with individual flowers within gilded anthemion bands and wide turquoise borders, comprising three oval dishes, two shell dishes, two square dishes and fourteen plates, impressed crown and BFB marks, printed marks (some pieces with minor wear) (21)

Footnotes

Billingsley arrived at Worcester in 1808 - during the Barr, Flight and Barr period. He initially worked as a flower painter and a small number of finely decorated services are a tribute to his genius. Most pieces here display Billingsley's distinctive mannerisms, although it is possible that a few plates in this set are the work of a pupil.
