Antique Royal Crown Derby Porcelain Stem Vase Imari Witches Patt. 6299

1900 - 1920
For Sale by The Fancy Fox
Description

An elegant Royal Crown Derby porcelain vase, of pear shape with slender, double knopped neck and flared petal moulded rim. Hand painted in a classic imari inspired pattern known as the Witches pattern, a striking design with alternating panels of rich underglaze blue reserving white and iron red flowers on a scrolling gilt vine, and an exotic flowering plant painted on the white ground in red and green enamel, gilt and underglaze blue. The white panels flow over the blue ones to create an elegant flow to the design. The border frieze around the upper body is sections of underglazed blue, intersected with white and gilt lines, with alternating reserved designs of flowers and diamonds in red and gilt. Finished with a gilt castellated band underneath, and further gilt decoration to the neck and rims. Marked with the company stamp and date cipher for 1920, painted model/shape number 910 over pattern number 6299, and decorator's mark.

It measures 18.5cm (7 1/4") high and 7.6cm (3") wide.

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

This Royal Crown Derby porcelain stem vase comes from 1920 and follows the Victorian Imari style. It uses porcelain, enamel, and gold leaf, finished in cobalt blue, iron red, and gold. The pear-shaped, bulbous body has a slender, double knopped neck, a flared, petal-moulded rim, and a fluted neck with a gilt castellated band underneath. Hand-painted decoration includes alternating panels of rich underglaze blue with scrolling gilt vines, white and iron red flowers, and an exotic flowering plant in red and green enamel, gilt, and underglaze blue. A border frieze circles the upper body with underglaze blue sections, white and gilt lines, and reserved flower and diamond motifs in red and gold. The piece measures 18.5 cm high and 7.6 cm wide. It suits placement on a mantelpiece in an English Country House setting today.

FAQs

Imari porcelain originated in Japan during the seventeenth century and was named after the export port of Imari. European manufacturers, particularly in England during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, adapted the signature cobalt blue, iron red, and gilded palette for Western decorative wares.

British Imari pieces are typically crafted from fine bone china or soft-paste porcelain, decorated using underglaze cobalt blue, overglaze iron red enamels, and hand-applied liquid gold leaf accents.

Authentic pieces generally feature printed or impressed factory marks on the base, including the crown emblem, pattern numbers (such as 6299), and specific date ciphers used to determine the exact year of manufacture.

An Imari vase provides a vibrant pop of rich colour and metallic contrast when placed on a minimalist mantelpiece, a dark wood sideboard, or grouped within a curated bookshelf display alongside contemporary ceramics.

Hand wash gently in warm water using a mild dish soap and a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive sponges or chemical cleansers. Never submerge porcelain with gilding in a dishwasher, as high heat and harsh detergents degrade the gold leaf over time.
