Fine English Bone China / Made in England

Description:

Up for sale is an exceptional, perfectly matched 3-piece antique tea service from the world-renowned Royal Crown Derby porcelain manufactory of England. This spectacular collector's set includes the lidded teapot, the double-handled covered sugar bowl, and the matching cream/milk jug.

Every piece is beautifully decorated in the iconic, highly coveted "Traditional Imari" pattern (#2451). This pattern represents the absolute pinnacle of classic British artistry, featuring deep cobalt blue underglaze panels, rich iron-red floral motifs, and a lavish overlay of hand-painted 22-karat gold gilding.

Rarity and Historical Significance

While individual Royal Crown Derby 2451 teacups or side plates are accessible on the secondary market, finding a complete 3-piece serving service in pristine condition is a rare opportunity. More significantly, all three components carry matching factory date cyphers proving they were manufactured together as a unified set in 1927. Intact sets from this interwar period that retain all original matching lids, fragile gold handles, and delicate finials are highly prized by porcelain enthusiasts worldwide.

Hallmark Information

The undersides of all pieces bear the official Royal Crown Derby red backstamp (the crown resting over the interlaced "D" logo with crossed batons and dots) above the word "ENGLAND". Directly below "ENGLAND," each piece features the tiny factory square cypher, definitively dating the entire set's manufacture to 1927. Each piece also carries the hand-painted "2451" pattern identifier, confirming authentic, factory-first quality.
