{"product_id":"antique-derby-king-street-sh-imari-cup-and-saucer","title":"Antique Derby King Street S\u0026H Imari Cup and Saucer","description":"\u003cp\u003eIron-red flowers, cobalt panels and green accents give this King Street Derby cup and saucer a richly patterned Imari-style surface. Gilt edging follows the angular handle and shaped rims, making the paired forms particularly effective in a display of antique English porcelain. The set belongs naturally beside other \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tea-and-coffee-table\"\u003etea and coffee table pieces\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe supplied identification records a painted crowned Derby-style mark on the saucer with crossed batons, a script D and S and H initials. That combination is associated with the King Street Derby works, including the Stevenson and Hancock partnership and subsequent Sampson Hancock production. The mark on the saucer supports the attribution; the matching decoration links it visually to the cup without independently marking the cup itself. The photographed pattern takes its colour inspiration from Japanese Imari ware while retaining the character of English porcelain made for the tea table. The existing condition assessment is Excellent and reports no chips or cracks, but a photograph cannot establish the absence of every hairline or restoration.
