Derby Blue and White Pickle Dish c1765.
A fine and rare Derby blue and white vine leaf shaped pickle dish, decorated in under-glaze
blue with a three peonies pattern and dating to c1765. It is in super condition, with just a short, very tight
hairline which has to be looked for carefully and one very tiny pin head sized chip to the rim which is not visible
from the front. A very fine piece of early Derby blue & white.
This is a fine Derby shaped plate, decorated in the neo-classical style with a garlanded
urn surrounded by floral sprays. The border is of Smiths blue with gold enhancement and applied "pearls".
There is a gold ring around the footrim and green floral sprigs to the reverse. This is a high status piece which dates
to c1785.
Of particular interest is the quality of the flower painting, with a reverse rose, style and palate suggesting
to us it could be by a young William Billingsley.
It is marked in puce with the usual Derby mark and is in very
fine condition, just light wear to the gilding. A super item.

Derby Plate in Pattern 343, Ex Hurlbutt
Collection.
A beautifully hand painted plate - probably by George Robertson - titled to the reverse "Near
Borghetto, Italy" in blue, also with the usual Derby mark and pattern number in blue. To the reverse is also
a very old collectors sticker for the Hurlbutt Collection with his hand-written comments. It dates to c1798.
In generally very good condition, though with a little kiln dust and exhibiting a few signs of wear. Free from
any chips, cracks or restoration though.
Frank Hurlbutt was a very well known collector and author who wrote
a number of books on English porcelain including "Old Derby Porcelain and it's Artist-Workmen" which was
published in 1925. We have a copy of this book for sale at present, but will give it to the purchaser of this plate
if they would like to have it. Together they make a great pair of items linked by an early 20th centuary author and
collector adding provenance and interest to both.

Early Derby Recumbent Sheep, c1760.
This is an early Derby model of a recumbent sheep with bocage, c1760. There is a chip to the base,
the tip of the sheeps ear is missing and slight damage/restoration to the bocage. Otherwise a very acceptable and attractive
example of very early Derby animals.
