Superb Bloor Derby Plate Circa 1825

19th century
Description

A superb Bloor Derby plate circa 1825 decorated with a bouquet of flowers to the centre on a deep blue background. Verso impressed 'Bloor'.

The Derby Porcelain Company, later called Royal Crown Derby, is currently the oldest British porcelain factory still in production. Derby pottery has gone through many iterations from the mid 1700s to today. In the 1820s, it came under the ownership of Robert Bloor and was named "Bloor Derby". As the company was in financial difficulty Robert Bloor had to find a way to turn it around. Finding a large stock of less-than-perfectly potted items that had been rejected, he decided to create a large range of cobalt blue items with busy flower paintings, which would hide the small imperfections in the glaze. Against expectations, this range of deeply coloured wares became very popular.

Condition: Very Good (Tiny bit of wear to gilt on the rim and central gilt band but no chips or cracks).

Diameter: 26 cms

Period: c1825

FAQs

Bloor Derby porcelain refers to pieces produced by the Derby porcelain factory during the management of Robert Bloor between 1811 and 1848, characterised by vibrant colours, rich gilding, and elaborate decorative motifs.

English porcelain plates from this period were typically crafted from soft-paste or bone china, decorated with hand-painted enamel botanical sprays, rich cobalt blue underglaze, and burnished gold leaf gilding.

Authentic pieces often feature printed or painted red factory marks on the reverse, precise hand-painted floral details, heavy gold gilding, and distinctive moulded rim forms such as gadrooning.

Cabinet plates can be displayed on plate stands within traditional dressers, arranged in symmetrical wall groupings using invisible hangers, or showcased on shelving to add historical detail.

Clean gently by hand using lukewarm water and a mild non-abrasive soap, avoiding immersion for prolonged periods, dishwashers, and harsh chemicals that could wear down delicate gilding or hand-painted enamels.
