Designed by Art Director Thomas Amos Reed, it features intricate birds and flowers rendered in rich red and accented with 22-karat gold. Developed between 1890 and 1926 under the creative direction of Thomas Amos Reed, the design drew heavy inspiration from intricate Renaissance-era tapestries and textiles The pattern showcases hand-painted and gilded British birds and floral motifs with flowing tendrils. While the traditional Red Aves design was officially retired by the factory in 1997, it remains a heavily sought-after vintage and collector’s item. Royal Crown Derby pieces feature specific backstamps. Vintage items made after 1938 usually include Roman numerals beneath the maker's mark to denote the exact year of manufacture. Genuine vintage pieces will feature the brand's iconic crown backstamp and are meant to be hand-washed to protect the delicate 22-karat gold gilding. Please note that bone china items may have some inherent imperfections that occur during manufacturing process such as glaze bubbles, glaze irregularities, manufacturing spots, dots, and some from use such as stacking dents or nicks at the bottom of cups, saucers, and plates; such imperfections will not be noted as damage. The remarkable history of ROYAL CROWN DERBY DISCOVER THE REMARKABLE JOURNEY OF HOW ROYAL CROWN DERBY BEGAN IN 1750 AND GREW INTO A GLOBAL BRAND AT THE FOREFRONT OF EXQUISITE FINE BONE CHINA DESIGN AND CRAFTSMANSHIPS. Like all the best stories, ours started small. In 1750 a remarkable artist Andrew Planche established the first china works in Derby. With a passion for creativity his handmade figurines paved the way for the evolution of global ceramics. Fortuitously, Planche made close friends with William Duesbury whose decorating skills aligned perfectly with his own, leading them to the discovery of the commerciality of crafting and decorating exquisite fine bone china. Committed to creativity and quality, both men were catalysts for the Royal Crown Derby brand, who today continues to be driven by the desire to be the best. With investment from a local businessman, the entrepreneurs established the Nottingham Road factory which quickly developed a reputation for premium quality fine bone china. In 1761, Royal Crown Derby’s remarkable royal connection begins with the creation of the commemorative piece celebrating the coronation of King George III in September 1761. Since this momentous occasion, Royal Crown Derby have developed a unique relationship with the British royal family, supplying every British monarch since King George III. Focused on growth, William Duesbury acquired the famous Chelsea China Works factory, resulting in the transfer of the world’s best ceramic artists. The unrivalled artistic skills coupled with the opening of the grand London based showroom, facilitated the widespread recognition of pristine Derby porcelain that remains today. Exemplary design and prestigious craftsmanship were just a few of the qualities King George III admired, therefore in 1775, he granted the honour of incorporating the crown into the brand’s iconic backstamp. This globally admired crown mark synonymous with exquisite fine bone china, continues to feature on every Royal Crown Derby piece crafted today. The guiding principles of a family-run business were born. As William Duesbury passed away in 1786, William Duesbury II inherited a thriving global business. His passion for perfection and artistic flair accelerated the innovation of ceramics. Duesbury recruited a team of accomplished ceramic artists who constantly pushed the boundaries of prestigious fine bone china, using highly lavish decorating and potting techniques. They established the reputation of luxury that Royal Crown Derby has today, supplying some of the wealthiest and most influential people across the world. The hallmarks of these creations are threads that run through everything Royal Crown Derby make today.
