Royal Crown Derby Large Burford Plate, "Derby Posies"

Collectibles : China, Porcelain : Royal Crown Derby

 

This beautifully decorated large cake plate was produced by the Royal Crown Derby Porcelain Co., one of the Staffordshire Potteries in England, in the ever popular "Derby Posies" pattern. It is in the Burford shape which was introduced in 1944 and withdrawn in 1970.

The white base china has flowers of pink, yellow, blue, mauve, iron-red and green foliage and has been finished with lots of gilding around the moulded, fluted and embossed edge. The roses have been hand-painted.

It measures 26.5cm (10½ inches) in diameter. The green printed back-stamp on the base reads "Royal Crown Derby" over the crown and insignia, then "Made in England" – this is an early mark.

This highly collectable plate is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, crazing or repairs. A wonderful display plate and decorator piece.
