RARE
DERBY HAND PAINTED BLUE AND WHITE PORCELAIN BUTTER BOAT
C.1768
"This
attractive and collectable piece of antique Derby blue and white
porcelain is a hand painted butter
boat with a helmet-shaped body and high scroll handle. The
body is crisply
moulded with a pair of dolphins in relief below the spout. Eighteenth
century blue and white Derby porcelain was only made in tiny quantities
compared to other factories and very few pieces have survived. A super
attractive reference piece for the discerning collector in good
general shape."Antiques
Expert Hamilton Bear.
