About the Item

This is an exquisite, porcelain cream jug or creamer, hand painted with an early pattern number 111 and made by the Derby factory, in the reign of George 111 in the late 18th century, circa 1785-1790. Early 18th century creamers by Derby are rare. The creamer has a body which tapers to the base and has 24 vertical convex flutes with a Sparrow -beak spout and an ear shaped handle. It is beautifully hand painted with a border of single gilt lines, with the top line sinusoidally intertwined by cornflowers in pink and blue with gilt leaves and stalks. The body also has scattered sprigs of cornflowers and harebells with an additional cornflower sprig painted in the base of the creamer. The inner and outer top rim also has gilt dentil decoration, with further gilded detail to the handle. The creamer has the 18th century Derby Crown and cross batons mark, in puce to the base, together with the "D" below and 111 below that, which is the pattern number. There is also a hand painted "3" in the side rim of the base indicating this creamer was painted by William Cooper. Overall, a rare and beautiful piece for the collector of Derby or early English porcelain. PROVENANCE: This pattern is illustrated on a Derby tankard shown on Page 281, plate 139 of the reference book - Derby Porcelain by John Twitchett, published by the Antique Collectors Club and Creamers of this shape are illustrated on pages 194 and 195 of the same book. The painter of this piece, William Cooper, is listed on page 67 of the same book and used the numeral "3" on the foot-rim of his pieces between 1785 and 1795.

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.
