How do you identify a Crown Derby?

1 Answer
How do you identify a Crown Derby?
To identify a Crown Derby, check the piece for backstamps. Because the British maker has used a variety of them over the years, you can use these hallmarks not only to determine if the company produced your item but also when and where it was produced. The official Royal Crown Derby website has an image reference guide that can help you identify your pottery markings. If you don't find a match for your piece's backstamps in the guide, consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer for assistance.
