Antique Derby Platters in the Meissen Style Hand Painted England Circa 1810

About the Item

This pair of Royal Crown Derby platters is hand-painted in the Meissen style, showcasing Deutsche Blumen (German flowers). This style, which was popular in the 18th and early 19th centuries, depicted European flowers in a naturalistic and somewhat whimsical manner. This contrasts with the more formalized and stylized floral designs found in Oriental patterns. These platters feature an assortment of vibrant, colorful flowers beautifully painted and seemingly strewn around across the platters. Dimensions: 10.5" x 8" x 1.25" deep Condition: Excellent with minimal original firing defects Price: $380 Background of Derby Porcelain: Derby Porcelain's production dates to the mid-18th century. In 1756, William Duesbury joined Andrew Planche and John Heath to create the Nottingham Road factory, which later became Royal Crown Derby. Derby porcelain gained prominence due to its artistry and quality. In 1775, the company earned its "Crown" designation when King George III granted the factory permission to incorporate a royal crown into its back stamp. This recognition distinguished Derby from other English porcelain makers and enhanced its reputation as a producer of elite ceramics.
