How do I identify a Derby figurine?

Derby porcelain pieces often feature characteristic potting techniques from specific production phases, such as the patch period of the seventeen-sixties. Looking at the modelling style, baseline marks, and the application of enamel and gilding helps connect a piece to the factory.
