Royal Crown Derby IMARI 2451 Trinket Dish Set Hand Painted-Rare-Very Good Condition
Set of 4 Royal Crown Derby Imari Trinket dishes in very good condition. The way the trinket dishes fit inside each other with the smallest inside one likely hand painted makes this trinket set rare and unique.
The larger 3 have a curvy hexagon shape; the inside, small, round dish is likely hand painted. The dishes all fit inside each other perfectly. The 3 hexagon shape dishes have the Red RCD 2451 stamp; the small, inside round dish has a faded green RCD stamp. My mother inherited this set from my great aunt in 1971. It has sat in my mother's china cabinet since she inherited it.
The smallest circle dish has a small, short (about 1/8th") crack at one point on the rim. It may have been repaired many years ago by my great aunt who collected all the china I am selling on ebay. The crack can be seen on the 2 last photos. Also, the largest hexagon dish has a couple edge, gold trim wear marks. Other than these flaws, this is a vintage Imari trinket set in overall very good condition for its age, but may have other minor imperfections like light scratches, minor trim wear and/or discoloration spots and or minor crazing.
Please see pictures. The pictures and magnifying device are the description as well.
I believe the 3 floral panels on the round, small, inner dish are hand painted because they don't match and have a not perfectly smooth texture like most non hand painted china patterns. I may be wrong as I am no china expert. Judge for yourself based on the pictures.
I have personally never seen such an old, intact set of 4 Royal Crown Derby Imari trinket dishes that all perfectly fit inside one another. This is a very rare set and is priced accordingly.
