Celebrating Royal Crown Derby's Rich Heritage
The story of Royal Crown Derby begins in 1750 when Andrew Planche established a modest china works in Derby. His innovative approach to crafting handmade figurines revolutionized the ceramics industry of the time. The pivotal partnership with William Duesbury unveiled the commercial potential of fine bone china, setting the foundation for what would become Royal Crown Derby.

A significant milestone came in 1775 when King George III bestowed a royal warrant upon the company, allowing the prestigious crown backstamp that has since become synonymous with excellence. This honor followed their creation of an exquisite commemorative piece for the King's coronation in 1761, establishing a tradition of royal patronage that continues to this day.
The Captivating Story of Imari Design
Royal Crown Derby's interpretation of the Imari pattern stands as a testament to cross-cultural artistic exchange. Originally inspired by the porcelain masterpieces from Japan's Imari region, Royal Crown Derby's artisans developed their own distinctive style. The pattern combines rich cobalt blues, deep iron reds, and elaborate gold detailing in a harmonious dance of color and form.
The design features intricate geometric patterns interwoven with flowing floral motifs, creating a visual language that speaks of both Eastern refinement and Western luxury. This unique fusion has earned Imari its place as an enduring symbol of porcelain artistry, coveted by collectors and connoisseurs worldwide.
