Royal Crown Derby Three-Part Hand-Painted W. Dean Blue & White Serving Dish

About the Item

This is an unusual 3 part serving dish most perfect for display as it signed by one of Royal Crown Derby's most iconic artists. W.E.J. Dean was born in Derby and became an Apprentice Painter at Royal Crown Derby in the late 1890’s and worked there until shortly before his death in 1956. He became famous for his Nautical Scenes and would take study trips on the sea on trawlers, taking photographs and sketches to use for his work. His seascapes were painted in a natural style and the sails and rigging were painted in a manner that was admired by nautical experts. During the recession of the 1930’s W.E.J. Dean (Billy Dean) worked alongside Albert Gregory and Cuthbert Gresley. Together they were responsible for the hand-painted pieces and each piece was usually signed by the artist. This is a rare form and has not one but 3 different beautifully painted scenes, each framed in a rich cobalt blue border.
