About the Item

This is a beautiful dessert plate made by Derby between circa 1805 and 1810 in the Regency era. This plate would have been part of a large dessert service. The Crown Derby Porcelain Company, later called Royal Crown Derby, is currently the oldest British porcelain factory still in production. Crown Derby was one of the most prominent potteries right from the start of English porcelain production in the mid-1700s to today. Their items are of exceptionally high quality and many of the designs have become iconic, particularly the Imari designs; many of these are still being made today. The marking at the bottom of the items indicates that the set was produced some time between 1806 and 1825, in a style that is typically from circa 1805-1810. This plate has a beautiful baby blue ground with an Oeil de Perdrix, or partidge eye, decoration in imitation of the famous Sevres style. The way the gilt and lapis blue circles are stippled give a slight definition to the surface. The four reserves and the center of the plate have beautiful hand painted flowers in bright colors. The plate is marked with the red Derby mark that was used between 1806 and 1825. Condition report: The plate is in excellent condition without any damage or repairs, however it is crazed throughout, as visible in the pictures, and there is some very light wear. Antique British porcelain is never perfect. Kilns were fired on coal in the 1800s, and this meant that china from that period can have some firing specks from flying particles. British makers were also known for their experimentation, and sometimes this resulted in technically imperfect results. Due to the shrinkage in the kiln, items can have small firing lines or develop crazing over time, which should not be seen as damage but as an imperfection of the maker's recipes, probably unknown at the time of making. Items have often been used for many years and can have normal signs of wear, and gilt can have signs of slight disintegration even if never handled. I will reflect any damage, repairs, obvious stress marks, crazing or heavy wear in the item description but some minor scratches, nicks, stains and gilt disintegration can be normal for vintage items and need to be taken into account. There is widespread confusion on the internet about the difference between chips and nicks, or hairlines and cracks. I will reflect any damage as truthfully as I can, i.e. a nick is a tiny bit of damage smaller than 1mm and a chip is something you can easily see with the eye; a glazing line is a break in the glazing only; hairline is extremely tight and/or superficial and not picked up by the finger; and a crack is obvious both to the eye and the finger. Etcetera, I try to be as accurate as I can. Dimensions: 22.5cm (8.9") diameter.
