Paint loss to several of the green leaves around the trim on the bottom portion of this dish and some gold gilt has been lost from age. Dish is still in good stable condition as there is no damage to the porcelain. Some crazing but overall this displays nicely. Please see photos for a good look at the condition and details and feel free to reach out with any questions.

An oval serving platter from Royal Crown Derby’s Nottingham Road works, measuring 13.25″ × 10″. The decoration features cobalt, iron red, and gilt in a floral and scrollwork arrangement-an early iteration of the King’s pattern lineage. On the back is Royal Crown Derby’s signature blue vine and leaf motif. The red crown-over-crossed-batons-and-D mark confirms production between 1806 and 1825, during the Duesbury & early Bloor period. A beautiful example of Derby’s early 19th-century output. Maker : Royal Crown Derby. Pattern : Early King’s. Form : Oval serving platter. Dimensions : 13.25″ × 10″. Style : Cobalt, iron red, and gilt floral with scrollwork. Derby’s signature blue vines and leaves on the back. Use : Cabinet display, dinner service. Excellent, with no chips, cracks, crazing or restoration. Gilt remains vivid, and the surface retains its original glaze. Foot ring is stable, and the mark is clearly impressed. Even the gold trim around the rim is fully intact. For antique Derby, this is about as good as it gets.
