It was an era of expansion and discovery when all eyes were looking to the riches of the East, and when exotic ware was being exported to Europe. Such meticulous detail and exquisite decoration became the inspiration for Derby and, blue and white ware such as sauce boats, baskets and coffee pots were made in Oriental style. Blue Mikado was originally recorded in Pattern Book number 9, as pattern number 4001 on the Dover shape. Later it was produced in a multi-color version and a variety of monochrome colors. A variety of prints on colored grounds have appeared over the years including probably the rarest, a gold print on a rich yellow ground. Be sure to add me to your.
