This museum-quality Barr. Flight & Barr plate has intriguing motifs linked to ‘Egyptomania’ that swept fashionable society in the wake of Napoleon’s Egypt Campaign of 1798-1802.
We take an in-depth look at the pattern in the inaugural issue of the Cotswold Antiques newsletter.
The plate was made at the Worcester factory during the Barr-Flight & Barr partnership from 1804 to 1813. There is a splendid backstamp and an impressed BFB mark (see photos).
A Derby plate with a similar pattern is in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
