Royal Crown Derby
English Bone China from Derby Since 1750
Royal Crown Derby traces its origins to 1750, when André Planché and William Duesbury began making porcelain in Derby. George III allowed the firm to use a crown in its mark in 1773, and Queen Victoria added “Royal” to the name in 1890. Its best-known pattern is Old Imari 1128, in the Japanese-inspired red, blue, and gold the factory has painted since the nineteenth century.
