History
The history of Royal Crown Derby started in 1750 when the Hugenot, Andrew Planche, opened the first china works in Derby. The company was recognised by George III who allowed the firm to use a crown in their logo and was later given the Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria. Royal Crown Derby is a world famous brand and their work is synonymous with style, quality and vivid portrayals of animals and nature, this piece is no exception.
These dishes would make a perfect gift for a loved one or would make very useful dishes for coins/earrings etc, alternatively they would look great on display.
