Derby Porcelain Recumbent Stag Figure Patch Period C.1760

18th century
Description

A Derby porcelain figure of a recumbent stag, produced during the Patch period, circa 1759-1769. The figure is of small scale and represents one of the early animal models that defined Derby production in the mid-18th century.

The model corresponds to “Stag and Doe at Lodge” (E99), as recorded in Bradshaw, with the present example closely matching the documented size. The compact proportions are typical of early production rather than later enlarged versions.

The modelling shows the characteristic early Derby approach, with expressive yet slightly simplified anatomy, softly applied enamels, and a densely applied bocage. The base is left rough beneath, with a vent hole and visible patch marks, consistent with early manufacture.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Produced roughly between 1756 and 1770, Patch Period Derby porcelain figures are known for three or four dark, unglazed circular pad marks on their bases caused by clay pads used to elevate pieces during kiln firing.

These items were crafted from soft-paste porcelain clay bodies, decorated with hand-applied enamel pigments, and finished with a translucent lead glaze.

Authentic pieces often display kiln patch marks on the base, soft glaze texture, light weight, and delicate hand-moulded details such as bocage foliage.

Such decorative pieces work well on a mantelpiece, within a glass display cabinet, or atop a stack of books on a sideboard as part of a curated vignette.

Dust carefully using a dry, soft-bristled paint brush or makeup brush to avoid snapping delicate leaves, and keep the object away from high humidity and direct heat.
