Set of Six Derby Sprig Decorated Soup Bowls

About the Item

A set of six sprig decorated soup bowls. Made by Derby in England, circa 1820. These large bowls have a delicate "Chantilly Sprig" pattern decoration of green, red, and blue cornflower sprigs in the centre and a band of similar decoration on the wide rim of the bowl. The edge of the bowls has fluting and a band of gilt. Diameter: 10 inches Condition: Excellent Price: $450 for the six bowls Background The cornflower sprig pattern was one of the most popular porcelain patterns of the last quarter of the 18th century and the first quarter of the 19th century. Both Marie Antoinette and Benjamin Franklin had sets of porcelain in the "Sprig" pattern. History of Derby Porcelain High quality porcelain has been manufactured in the City of Derby since 1750. In 1756 three men, John Heath a Derby banker, Andrew Planche a ‘china maker’ and William Duesbury an enameler from Staffordshire, entered into an agreement by which they became “co-partners together as well in the art of making English China as also in buying and selling all sorts of wares belonging to the art of making china”. The partnership was immediately successful and within a short period large quantities of good quality china were being dispatched to eager markets in London to be sold by their Factor, a Mr. Williams, at his warehouse at Craig's Court, Charing Cross. In early 1770 Duesbury and Heath purchased the Chelsea China Works in London from Nicholas Sprimont making them probably the largest china manufacturer in the United Kingdom. A Royal Warrant from King George III, dated 28th March 1775, appointed William Duesbury and John Heath 'Derby China Manufacturers to His Majesty'. The company continued to make fine porcelains well into the 19th century.
