The pinnacle of 19th-century luxury is this complete dozen of Bloor Derby “Kings Imari” Rimmed Soup Plates. Finding a matched set of 12 in the “Kings Imari” style-especially in this versatile deep shape-is an exceptional rarity. These are not just plates; they are historical artifacts that bring regal elegance to the modern collector’s table. Brand: Derby / Bloor Derby. Pattern: Kings Imari (Iron Red, Inky Cobalt, & 22k Gold). Era: Regency c. Material: Fine English Bone China. Quantity: Complete Set of 12. Markings: Authentic Hand-Painted Iron-Red Bloor Crown & “D” Mark. Shape: Deep Rimmed Soup / Pasta Plate. Diameter: 8.75 inches. Height: 1.25 inches. The 1.25″ depth makes these highly sought after for modern “Grandmillennial dining-perfect for elegant pasta courses, salads, or traditional soups. This set is in overall amazing antique condition, presenting with the vibrant colors and heavy 22k gold gilding that Bloor Derby is famous for. As is expected with genuine 1815-era porcelain, the set shows a fine, age-appropriate crazing. Preservation: The set has been well-maintained; one plate has been professionally restored, while a few others show minor, characteristic “fleabites” to the rims or foot-rims. Please see photos of each plates and zoom in. The “Kings” pattern is the most celebrated of the Derby Imari designs. It required a master’s touch, involving multiple kiln firings to achieve the depth of the cobalt blue and the precision of the hand-applied 22k gold filigree. A full set of 12 serves as the ultimate cornerstone for any serious porcelain collection.
