The Royal Crown Derby Porcelain Company was established in 1750 and now employs around 200 skilled craftspeople. It manufactures the highest quality English fine bone china at its factory on a four and a half acre site in Derby, England. The present factory was established in 1878 and Queen Victoria granted permission to include the title ‘Royal’ in the company name 12 years later. For collectors of exceptional pieces of artwork and artisanship, Royal Crown Derby’s Artistry Vases prove an ideal choice. Extravagantly shaped and expertly hand-painted, their inspiration stems from the archives of the 18th century. This was a time when elaborate botanical flowers displayed a man’s wealth and showcased skilled artists, making vases of this type popular with the aristocracy and wealthy gentry.
