Rare 18th Century Derby Milk Jug or Creamer Hand Painted Pattern 111, Puce Mark

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.
