Antique English Porcelain Plate Hand-Painted with Greek Key Design Circa 1810

$380.00

This hand-painted Derby porcelain plate from circa 1810 is centered on a bold Neoclassical Greek Key design, one of the most sought-after classical motifs of the Regency period.
The crisp gilded key border encircles a striking twelve-pointed golden star, framed by concentric bands of red and gold and a row of white “pearls” set against a rich red ground.
Around the rim, scrolling foliate forms in purple, blue, green, and iron red create vibrant contrast against the luminous white porcelain.
Lavish gilding unifies the composition, balancing geometric precision at the center with fluid movement at the edge.
The strong classical geometry, combined with saturated color, gives the plate a real decorative presence.
The reverse bears the iron-red Derby crown mark used between 1800 and 1825.

Background of Derby Porcelain

In the early 19th century, the Derby factory was renowned for producing some of the finest English porcelain.
Derby Porcelain’s production dates to the mid-18th century.
In 1756, William Duesbury joined Andrew Planche and John Heath to create the Nottingham Road factory,
which later became Royal Crown Derby.
Derby porcelain gained prominence due to its artistry and quality.
In 1775, the company earned its “Crown” designation when King George III granted the factory permission to incorporate a royal crown into its back stamp.
This recognition distinguished Derby from other English porcelain makers and enhanced its reputation as a producer of elite ceramics.
