$520.00
This collection of platters and dishes is hand-painted in the beautiful Prince of Wales Roses pattern.
The porcelain was crafted at the Derby factory in Derby, England, in the late 18th century, around 1790.
Each piece features a unique hand-painted rose at its center, surrounded by a peach-colored and gilded border.
The Prince of Wales, who later became King George IV, visited the Derby Porcelain Factory in 1773.

The Prince of Wales Roses service was created by Derby for the Prince of Wales in 1787.

Background of Derby Porcelain
The production of the earliest Derby porcelain dates from the first half of the 18th century. The production of porcelain in Derby predates the commencement of the porcelain works of William Duesbury, started in 1756 when he joined Andrew Planche and John Heath to create the Nottingham Road factory, which later became Royal Crown Derby when King George III awarded Duesbury the rare honor of being allowed to incorporate His Majesty’s Crown into the Derby back stamp. Ever since then, the company has been known as Royal Crown Derby.
The first printed mention of the Derby factory dates from December 1756, when an advertisement in the Public Advertiser urged readers to participate in a sale by auction in London, sponsored by the Derby Porcelain Manufactory.
