Description

A finely potted Derby tea bowl and saucer with wide bands of ribbed fluting between smoothed sections around the rims, foot and centre of the saucer. Painted with a large spray of garden flowers to each along with individual dotted sprigs in rich enamels of purple, pink, orange, yellow and green. Finished with maroon brown rims. Unmarked, c.1760.

The tea bowl measures 8cm (3 1/8") wide and 5.1cm (2") high and the saucer is 12.3cm (4 7/8") wide.

In excellent condition with no damage, repair or restoration and light handling wear: the enamel on the leaves of the three small sprigs in the centre of the saucer has had some losses and there is some rubbing to the enamel of the main pink rose along the high points of the fluting. Minimal wear to the enamel on the tea bowl and the rims show very little wear also. The foot rims of both have been ground smooth during manufacture.

Date of Manufacture

The Fancy Fox has dated this Antique Derby Porcelain Tea Bowl and Saucer to the 18th Century.

FAQs

Georgian era porcelain is characterised by the establishment of major English factories like Derby, Chelsea, and Bow, which developed unique soft-paste and hard-paste ceramic body formulations featuring hand-painted botanical and oriental designs.

Eighteenth-century teaware was primarily manufactured using soft-paste porcelain, a mixture of clay, glass frit, and ground chalk, which was fired at lower temperatures to produce a creamy, translucent body ideal for intricate overglaze enamelling.

Authentic pieces from this era are typically identified by unglazed foot rims, characteristic potting flaws such as firing cracks or kiln specks, hand-painted polychrome enamel details, and early factory marks including the crowned D or incised tripod marks.

Antique porcelain pieces can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, styled on open shelving using plate stands, or incorporated into tablescapes to introduce historical texture and delicate colour accents to a room.

Antique porcelain should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using a mild, non-ionic detergent, avoiding abrasive sponges, harsh chemicals, and dishwashers to protect the fragile overglaze enamels and gilding.
