The Worcester Factory was founded on June 4, 1751 by a group of 15 merchants and craftsmen included Dr. Wall and William Davis, formerly a Bristol technician. In 1783 the business was bought by Thomas Flight, jeweler to the Royal family and the firm's London agent. After his death in 1791 his son John took Martin Barr into partnership and traded as Flight & Barr.

In 1813 George Barr joined the business, which then operated as Flight, Barr & Barr until 1840 when the factory was acquired by the firm of Chamberlain. A Worcester Porcelain Teapot c.1770 NEW ITEM
