Pair of Antique English Derby Porcelain Dishes with Floral Design
About the Item
This pair of Derby porcelain plates was hand painted, showing beautiful summer flowers in bright polychrome enamels. They were painted by eminent Derby flower painter Leonard Lead circa 1825. He used an exceptionally bright palette of pinks and yellows contrasting with purples and orange.
Adding to their beauty, the plates have brightly gilded rims applied in a delicate dentil pattern.
The underside of both dishes has the Derby crown mark above "D" in iron red.
The plates would look fantastic displayed in a cabinet or on a low table in a living room.
They measure 10.25" in diameter and 1.2" in height

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 when King George III awarded Duesbury the rare honor of being allowed to incorporate His Majesty's Crown into the Derby back stamp. Ever since then, the company has been known as Royal Crown Derby.

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.
