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.

Royal Crown Derby Porcelain
Founded in 1750 by Andrew Planche and William Duesbury in Derby, England, the Royal Crown Derby Porcelain Company is one of the oldest original English manufacturers of fine bone china. Dating to the Georgian era, it has operated for more than 265 years.
In 1761, the company, then called Derby Porcelain, created its first commemorative piece for the coronation of King George III. In 1775, King George III recognized the uniqueness and high quality of Derby Porcelain, giving the company the honor of using a crown on its back stamp. Queen Victoria gave further honors to the porcelain manufacturer in 1890, when she awarded the company a royal warrant and bestowed upon it the title of “The Royal Crown Derby Porcelain Company.”
In the years following the first royal appointment, the company employed some of its finest artistic creators, such as watercolor landscape painter Zachariah Boreman; flower painters William Billingsley, William Pegg and Walter Withers; and figure painters Richard Askew and James Banford. The company produced the most sought-after collectible pieces in its history under the direction of William Duesbury II. He died at 34 and his full vision for the company went unrealized; it subsequently entered a period of decline.
In 1811, Robert Bloor revived the company by employing excellent painters and producing exquisite serving pieces that featured the Japanese Imari style of bold colors and lavish details. The popular design continues to be produced today. Modern pieces such as the paperweight collection also remain in demand more than 40 years after their introduction.
Under the creative control of different partners over time, the company has had three main locations. Its current base of operations is in Derby, where it continues to produce fine ceramics and decorative collectibles.

The scalloped and fluted shape of this large platter
Keramiekfabriek Velsen was founded in 1920 in the town of Velsen, nearby Haarlem in the Netherlands. It started out as an art pottery factory called the "Kennemer Pottenbakkerij". In 1936 the name was changed to Velsen. In 1943, during the second world war, the factory was ordered to move, and was resettled in the nearby town of Sassenheim. After the war the factory started to produce mainly handpainted Delftware, both in blue & white and polychrome styles. Especially the polychrome style became its strength, because Velsen used a wider and more colourful palette of colours than most other Delftware producers. Velsen also made green Delft (green & white) and red Delft...
