Description
Dense cobalt panels and iron-red flowers give this small side plate the intricate colour of Victorian Imari-style porcelain. Green, white and gilt details divide the pattern into ornamental sections, making the single piece well suited to display beside other marked Derby wares. Its compact size also works within a collection of tea and coffee table pieces.
The supplied description records a crowned interlaced-D Derby Crown Porcelain Company mark, pattern number 190 and a small date cipher beneath the plate. These details support the Derby manufacturer and its recorded pattern, although the cipher has not been independently decoded here into a specific year. The existing attribution places production broadly between 1877 and 1890 on the basis of mark form and decorative style, not a claimed exact manufacturing date. The gilding and coloured panels are characteristic visual features of this plate rather than proof of a complete matching service. The listing grades it Excellent with no chips or cracks reported; a photograph does not constitute a physical condition examination. For more context on the decoration and identification, see the Journal guide to Imari-inspired ceramics.
