A Flight, Barr and Barr cabinet cup and saucer by Thomas Baxter circa 1815 With twin handles and a band of white 'jewels' applied below the everted rim, painted with a classical head in cameo style, the reverse with a floral panel, the oval panels edged with multi-coloured 'jewels', the blue ground gilt with classical scrollwork, stand 13.8cm diam, script marks referring to Coventry Street address (2) Fußnoten This form of cabinet cup was particularly favoured by Baxter. The fine gilding and jewelling are also likely to be his work. See the pair of cups and stands sold by Bonhams on 5 June 2019, lot 226 and another pair on 3 October 2012, lots 195 and 196. The cameo subject is most unusual.
