A Royal Crown Derby 'Princess' pattern dinner service, from a Derby Original pattern circa 1790, comprising twelve dinner plates, 26.5cm wide, twelve salad plates, 21.5cm wide, twelve side plates, 16cm wide, eight soup bowls and saucers, bowls 16.5cm wide, six teacups and saucers, cups 6cm high, two tureens, 24cm wide, a serving platter, 33cm wide, a sauceboat and stand, sauceboat 20cm long, a teapot, 29cm long, a cream jug, 14cm long, a serving plate, 24.5cm wide, and a bowl, 13cm wide (73)
All pieces appear to be first quality. One saucer shows a full thickness hairline crack with star head extending approximately 15cm from the rim, with a consequent small loss to the foot. The teapot shows some staining to the interior. All pieces show surface wear and fine surface scratching (particularly to the plate wells), and rubbing to the gilt highlights throughout. All pieces would benefit from cleaning.
