Nouveau Breakfast Trio

Large breakfast cup 11 cm diameter x 6.5 cm high

Saucer 17 cm diameter

Plate 21 cm diameter

Beautiful condition, no cracks, crazing or chips to the china with some wear to the gilding.

Description

The Royal Crown Derby Porcelain company was known as Derby Porcelain until 1775, when King George III granted the factory the honour of being able to incorporate a crown into its backstamp – becoming Crown Derby. In 1890, Queen Victoria awarded Crown Derby the royal warrant and the company was renamed Royal Crown Derby.
