About the Item

This set of six English porcelain espresso cups was hand-painted in the late 18th century. Traditionally known as coffee cans, they were made by the Derby factory circa 1790. Each cup is decorated with diamond-shaped panels with delicate pink roses framed within gilt and richly gilded scrollwork. The artistry and detail reflect the refined Neoclassical taste that defined Derby porcelain of the George III era. With their straight-sided form and elegant proportions, these cups are perfectly sized for a modern double espresso. The delicate handles and lightweight porcelain make them a pleasure to use, blending antique charm with practical function. Dimensions: 2.25" tall x 2.5" diameter Condition: Excellent, with only the very slightest rubbing to the gilt Price: $320 Background of Derby Porcelain The early production of Derby porcelain dates to the mid-18th century. In 1756, William Duesbury joined Andrew Planche and John Heath to create the Nottingham Road factory, which later became Royal Crown Derby.
