A stunning pair of antique, hand painted Derby plates dating from circa 1820.

Decorated in the rich Imari palette of cobalt blue, iron red and hints of green with lavish gilding.

Superb quality and artistry. Absolutely wonderful pieces. They look marvellous on display.

They each measure 9 3/4 inches in diameter. Large, dinner plate size. Subtle differences.

Both signed on the back with the crown mark dating from between 1806 and 1825.

Produced at the Nottingham Road factory during the days before mass production and long before it became Royal Crown Derby.

In excellent antique condition. No chips, cracks or restoration. One plate has crazed slightly (as shown) so it doesn't ring like the other one. The gilding is very good and no paint losses.

Questions welcome. Will be very well packed.
