Royal Crown Derby cup and saucer

Royal Crown Derby - 1896
 
This charming cup and saucer is decorated with underglaze blue panels, enhanced by sponge printed circles, and hand painted roses and laurel garlands. 
The porcelain itself is moulded with a swirling inverted feather gadroon pattern to the middle of the saucer and the bottom of the cup. 

Royal Crown Derby in this period were looking back at their own wares from 100 years before where underglaze blue and delicate flowers had been a popular neo classical decoration.
 
Condition - Very good, a little rubbing to the gilding on the edge of the saucer.
