Antique English Equestrian Porcelain Plate Hand Painted Derby Circa 1815
About the Item
This exquisite antique porcelain plate features a vivid hand-painted equestrian scene, showing a fox hunter galloping across a country landscape, hounds running ahead.
It embodies a rich narrative of culture, artistry, and history.
Made by Derby around 1815, the elegant composition is attributed to William Cotton, known for his dynamic portrayals of English sporting life.
The scene captures the thrill of the chase, with the rider in a vivid red coat and the landscape bathed in early morning light beneath a lavender-tinted sky.
A gilt border frames the painting, enclosed within a second impressed basketweave border around the rim.
The imagery likely draws from Samuel Howitt’s color plates in The British Sportsman (published by Edward Orme, London, 1812), a celebrated source for Regency-era hunting scenes.

Background of Derby Porcelain
Derby porcelain boasts a rich history, with its earliest production dating back to the first half of the 18th century.
The foundation of the iconic Derby factory was laid in 1756 by William Duesbury, alongside Andrew Planche and John Heath, leading to a legacy of artistry recognized with the royal distinction of becoming Royal Crown Derby, granted by King George III.
The first documented mention of the Derby factory in December 1756 highlights its immediate prominence, capturing attention through an advertisement in the Public Advertiser promoting an auction in London, underscoring its esteemed heritage.

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.
