Antique Royal Crown Derby Porcelain Imari Coffee Cup & Saucer 4591

A very pretty antique Royal Crown Derby coffee cup and saucer, of lobed shape, in a very decadent imari pattern with a mazarine blue ground smothered in gilded scrolls. A large circular reserve in the centre of the saucer and mirrored around the lower half of the cup depicts stylised leaves and flowers framed with a gilt seaweed and diaper pattern border. The blue, gilt covered ground reserves chrysanthemums in salmon and pale green enamel and two shaped reserves with a simple vine decoration and gilt dotted background. Inside the cup rim is a stylish shaped blue border with gilt scrolls and the rims and ornate scrolled handle are also gilded. Factory marks to the bases and painted pattern number 4591.
