{"product_id":"derby-posies-small-creamer","title":"Royal Crown Derby 'Derby Posies' Creamer, Fine English Bone China, Dated 1977, Made in England","description":"\u003cp\u003eRoyal Crown Derby is the oldest surviving English porcelain manufacturer still operating on its original site — and 'Derby Posies' is one of its most beloved patterns, with an active collector following that spans generations. This small individual creamer is a particularly fine example: the Roman numeral 'XL' beneath the reddish-orange backstamp dates this specific piece to 1977, and the hand-painted red letter 'A' identifies the individual artisan who applied the final decorative touches. Provenance doesn't get more precise than that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pattern itself is quintessentially English — a vibrant cottage bouquet of a large white wild rose with a golden centre, purple asters, pink blossoms, and delicate green leaves, set against the bright white of fine bone china. The form is pure Royal Crown Derby: a gently lobed, ribbed body that catches the light beautifully, a swept pouring spout, and the maker's signature high-scrolling thistle handle with molded architectural thumb-rests along the spine. The 22-carat gold gilt tracking the wavy upper rim and handle spine is 100% intact. A considered addition to a vintage tea table, and a serious find for anyone completing a Derby Posies service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Royal Crown Derby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e 'Derby Posies'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1977 (dated by Roman numeral XL on backstamp)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine English Bone China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBackstamp:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reddish-orange Royal Crown Derby mark, XL date code, hand-painted artisan mark 'A'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMint vintage condition.
