Royal Crown Derby Bloor Period Porcelain Figures ‘Jupiter and Juno’, C. 1830

18th century
Description

Finely modelled pair from the early Bloor Period (c.1830), re-using Duesbury era moulds but finished in the richer enamels and heavier gilding favoured by Robert Bloor. Jupiter is shown crowned, with thunderbolt and sceptre, attended by the eagle; Juno, crowned and veiled, stands beside her peacock. The vivid palette and gold heightening typify Derby’s luxury output in this period.

Juno — Height: 17.0 cm (6.7?); Width: 11 cm (4.3?); Depth: 8.0 cm (3.1?); Weight: 331 g

This pair of Royal Crown Derby Bloor Period porcelain figures represents Jupiter and Juno, originating from the Georgian period in the Regency style around 1830. Constructed from porcelain finished with polychrome enamels and gold leaf, the figures depict the classical deities with Jupiter accompanied by an eagle and Juno by a peacock, both set upon rectangular plinth bases with moulded details and gold banding. The rich decoration incorporates vivid tones of pink, orange, yellow, and blue alongside extensive gilding on the crowns, garments, and attributes, while the figures stand at 17 cm high, 11 cm wide, and 8 cm deep in practical terms. Suitable for display in a formal reception space, these decorative figurines provide a classic focal point on a mantelpiece or within a glass-fronted display cabinet. They integrate well into traditional interiors that highlight Regency motifs, mythological subjects, and fine antique porcelain collecting.

Produced between 1811 and 1848 under the management of Robert Bloor, this era of Derby porcelain is noted for bright enamel colours, gold gilding, and classical or allegorical subjects.

These figures were cast using press-moulds with bone china or soft-paste porcelain, fired, painted by hand with overglaze enamels, and finished with burnished gold gilding.

Authentic pieces frequently display printed or painted Bloor Derby factory marks, detailed hand-painted decoration, weighted hollow bases, and characteristic glaze composition consistent with early 19th-century production.

Position these figures symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, within a glass display cabinet, or on a sideboard top alongside neutral decorative items to highlight the painted detail.

Dust gently using a soft brush, avoiding water, chemical detergents, or heavy friction near gilded surfaces to prevent flaking and surface wear.
