An interesting Flight, Barr and Barr 'Union' plate

circa 1814
attributed to William Billingsley, painted with a band of pink roses alternating with sprigs of thistles and scattered shamrock, between gilded lines, 20.7cm, impressed BFB and printed Flight, Barr and Barr mark referring to royal patronage (some wear to gilding)

Footnotes

The use of both Barr, Flight and Barr and Flight, Barr and Barr marks dates this plate to 1814, the year Billingsley left Worcester. The choice of flowers representing the union of England, Scotland and Ireland suggests this may have been a specimen plate for a royal service
