Derby Porcelain Two-handled Vase Painted by Zachariah Boreman, Circa 1782–1805

18th century
Description

A refined Derby porcelain two-handled vase, decorated en grisaille with two oval landscape reserves framed by gilded borders, the scenes are painted by Zachariah Boreman (1738–1810), one of Derby’s most celebrated landscape painters.

Boreman’s landscapes are admired for their extraordinary delicacy: finely stippled brushwork, restrained tonal harmonies, and a remarkable ability to evoke depth and atmosphere on a miniature scale. The present vase captures this “less-is-more” elegance, with nuanced gradations and crisp detail lending the scenes a quietly dramatic presence.

Marks: puce painted factory mark, incised no. 77.

Date: circa 1782–1805.

Dimensions: 11 cm high; 10.5 cm diameter.

Condition: very good; tiny shallow chip to the foot rim. No other issues; no crazing.

A highly desirable collector’s piece — elegant on display as a cabinet work, and a particularly attractive example of Derby’s landscape painting tradition.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Derby porcelain produced during the late 18th century represents a high point of English ceramic production, renowned for soft-paste bodies and fine hand-painted enamel decoration often depicting topographical landscapes.

These pieces were typically made from soft-paste porcelain, decorated with hand-applied enamel paints and detailed with mercury gilding along the rims, handles, and decorative borders.

Authentic pieces usually feature distinct factory marks in red, blue, or purple glaze under or over the base, alongside delicate hand-painted detailing and visible signs of age-appropriate wear to the soft-paste body and gilding.

Display the vase on a mantelpiece, console table, or within a glass cabinet as a focal point, pairing it with minimal modern decor to accentuate its historical craft.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or dry brush, avoiding water, abrasive detergents, or chemical cleaners that could lift or degrade the delicate gilded leaf and enamel paint.
