Gold is bright and intact. ROYAL CROWN DERBY GOLDEN AVES – Six Place Settings with Chargers Fine English Bone China with 22 Karat Gold Includes 36 pieces total 6 Charger Plates 6 Salad Plates 6 Bread and Butter Plates 6 Rim Soup Bowls 6 Teacups 6 Saucers DESCRIPTION This is a complete and beautifully preserved six place-setting service in Royal Crown Derby’s most luxurious and collectible pattern, Golden Aves. This set features charger plates instead of standard dinner plates, a major upgrade that significantly increases both visual impact and value. Golden Aves is Royal Crown Derby’s flagship pattern, renowned for its hand-applied 22-karat gold decoration and dramatic exotic bird and floral imagery inspired by 18th-century Japanese and Chinese export porcelain. The chargers in particular display the pattern at full scale, with sweeping phoenix birds, pheasants, roses, butterflies, and scrolling vines rendered in rich, kiln-fired gold. Each piece is crafted from fine English bone china and finished by hand, giving the gold its depth, brilliance, and durability that modern production cannot replicate. Charger place settings were typically produced in much smaller quantities than standard dinnerware, making complete sets exceptionally rare. This six-place-setting service is ideal for: Formal dining rooms Luxury entertaining Collectors of Royal Crown Derby Interior designers High-end home staging CONDITION All pieces are in excellent condition and new, not used: No chips No cracks No crazing No repairs Bright, intact gold This set is both display-worthy and fully table-ready. WHY THIS SET IS ESPECIALLY VALUABLE Most Golden Aves sets contain dinner plates. Chargers were premium presentation pieces used for formal service and display. Because they were produced in far smaller numbers, full charger place settings command a significant premium over standard services. Complete six-setting charger services are extremely difficult to assemble today. (IMPORTANT NOTE: I have other service items available for sell if you are interested).
