This Royal Crown Derby centrepiece urn and cover dates from 1920 in the Victorian style. Formed of porcelain with a cobalt blue ground and gold accents, the surface displays intricate raised gilding, a hand-painted reserve depicting exotic birds amidst foliage, and an ornate finial upon the lidded top, complemented by twin scroll handles and a footed circular base. Fully factory marked with the Waterworth Derby collection label, the vase maintains its original condition with no damages or restoration. Measuring 31 cm high, 30 cm wide, and 14 cm deep, this decorative vessel sits suitably atop a sideboard in a traditional home setting.

FAQs

These decorative vessels are characterized by rich cobalt blue grounds, heavy scrollwork gilding, and central reserve panels featuring hand-painted flora or fauna, produced during the height of English porcelain manufacture.

Pieces were crafted from fine bone china, fired with high-temperature glazes, and finished with hand-applied enamel pigments alongside burnished gold leaf gilding.

Authentic items typically display factory backstamps, year cipher marks stamped under the base, and individual artist signatures within or near the painted reserve panels.

Positioning a single ornate porcelain vessel on a minimalist sideboard or marble mantelpiece creates a striking focal point through historical contrast.

Dust gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water, abrasive detergents, or chemical cleaners that can lift surface gilding and delicate enamels.
