FINE
DERBY REGENCY PORCELAIN MAZARINE
BLUE AND GOLD SUNFLOWER PATTERN BREAKFAST CUP AND SAUCER
DUESBURY AND KEAN C.1800
"A
fine example of best early nineteenth century English
Regency porcelain from one of the principle makers of quality antique
ceramics. This well potted Regency Derby large breakfast cup and saucer was produced
around the 1800s by the Derby partnership of Duesbury and Kean. The
Mazarine Blue and Gold Sunflower pattern is a revival of
the earlier 18th Derby patterns from circa 1785. The elegant hand decoration in gold in neo-classical style with Vandyke
border produces an exquisite result against the mazarine blue bands. It is unusual to find a surviving Derby porcelain breakfast cup and saucer in such
wonderful condition. A super example of early 19th century English
porcelain
for the discerning antique English porcelain collector."Antiques Expert Hamilton Bear.
