1900 - 1920
For Sale by The Fancy Fox
Description

A very pretty antique Royal Crown Derby coffee cup and saucer, of lobed shape, in a very decadent imari pattern with a mazarine blue ground smothered in gilded scrolls. A large circular reserve in the centre of the saucer and mirrored around the lower half of the cup depicts stylised leaves and flowers framed with a gilt seaweed and diaper pattern border. The blue, gilt covered ground reserves chrysanthemums in salmon and pale green enamel and two shaped reserves with a simple vine decoration and gilt dotted background. Inside the cup rim is a stylish shaped blue border with gilt scrolls and the rims and ornate scrolled handle are also gilded.

Factory marks to the bases of both, with date cipher for 1902, painted pattern number 4591 and decorator mark.

The cup measures 6cm (2 3/8") high and 7.6cm (3") wide and the saucer measures 13.7cm (5 3/8") wide.

In excellent condition with no damage or repair and minimal handling wear.

FAQs

Originating in Japan, the Imari style was adapted by English porcelain factories such as Royal Crown Derby during the 18th and 19th centuries, characterised by a rich palette of cobalt blue underglaze, iron red enamel, and gilded detailing.

Edwardian teacups and coffee cans were crafted from fine bone china, decorated with hand-applied enamel glazes and detailed with applied gold leaf gilding.

Authentic pieces feature the factory maker mark backstamp on the underside, often accompanied by a specific pattern number and a year mark indicating the date of production.

Display individual cups and saucers inside glass-fronted cabinets, arrange them on open shelving in modern dining areas, or mount decorative saucers on accent walls for colour and texture.

Wash pieces by hand using warm water and a mild non-abrasive detergent, avoiding dishwashers and harsh sponges to preserve the gold gilding and delicate enamels.
