About the Item

PRESENTING a GLORIOUS Early 19C Derby Porcelain Lidded Centerpiece. Early piece of Derby porcelain, with early mark. From circa 1800-20. Entirely hand-painted and hand gilded in 24ct gold. The Lid has a gilded ‘crocus’ flower finial with 3 hand-painted floral panels. Classic Royal Derby Cobalt blue with profuse gilt decoration. The base/bowl is white porcelain again with 3 hand painted floral panels, cobalt blue and profuse gilt work. It has a pieced fretwork top and has 3 gilt ‘ram’ heads with curling horns on the sides. It extends to a tripod base of 3 sheep’s feet or hooves on a base plinth that again is cobalt blue with gilt work. Under the base is it marked with a ‘Crown’ with 6 internal dots and dots around the crown. It has the initials “AB” underneath. Whilst we have been unable to locate an identical mark for Royal Crown Derby, the similarities to other Derby marks couple with the decoration and style lead us to the firm opinion that this is a ‘Derby’ piece rather than German or Dresden. It is in ‘near mint’ condition with no chips or cracks and only some very minor rubbing to the gilt work. AN AMAZING SURVIVOR FROM THE REGENCY ERA ! Provenance: From a Private Dallas Collection. Condition: Very good condition. No chips or cracks. Some very minor loss (fading) of gilt decoration on base from age, but not significant enough to devalue the piece. Dimensions: 10.5 in Tall, Lid Diameter of 8.5 in, Base rim is 9.5 in wide to include the rams heads. The Bowl has a diameter of 8.25 in and the plinth is 5.25 in wide and the same deep.

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.

By Samson & Cie

Located in Dallas, TX

Presenting a gorgeous French 19th century Samson Paris Porcelain Trinket Box probably by Edme Samson. Marked on the base with “Made in France” and unmistakably in the style and manner of Samson. The lid features hand painted floral bouquets on an ivory porcelain background with gold edging, surrounded by a sky blue lid with gold web or crackling effect.. The lid is hinged and the lid and base are edged in floral gilt metal mounts with Fleur De Lis clasp. It sits on 4 gilt metal or ormolu feet. The sides are likewise hand decorated. This wonderful antique hand painted box is just bursting with History. Inspired by Edme Samson of Samson & Co., Paris. we believe (based upon the markings and natural aging) that it was made between 1880– 1890 in France and was meant to resemble an antique of a much earlier period. It is very similar to Sevres pieces with it’s color, decoration and design. Samson specialized in reproducing antiques from the 1600 and 1700s. One of his most interesting works was his Heraldic or Armorial pieces. With this medium sized box, he was not only copying the larger porcelain caskets or coffin boxes...
