About the Item
Royal Crown Derby Aesthetic Movement Gilt Potpourri Vase with Pierced Lid, Dated 1892
Dimensions: 10.5" H x 5.5" Dia
A refined example of late Victorian porcelain, this lidded potpourri vase was produced by Royal Crown Derby in 1892, during the height of the Aesthetic Movement. Crafted from fine ivory-toned bone china, the baluster form is exquisitely hand-decorated with raised and gilded botanical motifs inspired by Japanese design. The delicate branches, leaves, and blossoms meander across the surface in asymmetric balance, framed by a gilt trellis border at the base and vertical gilt fluting at the neck.
The original domed lid is pierced in a latticework pattern and finished with a gilded finial, designed to allow fragrant potpourri to diffuse gently into the room. This elegant and functional design was a staple of fashionable Victorian interiors.
The base bears the red Royal Crown Derby mark with a crown above intertwined Ds, and a single dot beneath—confirming a production date of 1892. Additional hand-painted model or pattern numbers appear along the foot rim.
In excellent antique condition with minimal wear to the gilding, this piece is both a collector's item and a decorative accent of timeless sophistication.

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.
