Description: This is a rare late 18th century English marked Royal Crown Derby shell shaped dish beautifully hand painted with blue & gold cornflowers sprigs known as the Chantilly sprig or barbeaux sprigs. The blue cornflowers have gold gilt leafs. The superb quality of this dish is amazing!!! The beautifully modeled shell shaped dish is influenced by the French Sevres porcelain factory outside of Paris. The dish has overall elaborate gold gilding. Hand painted in a scattered Bourbon cornflower sprig pattern.The cornflower pattern was introduced at Sevres about 1774 for French Queen Marie Antoinette .Cornflowers were her favorite flower.The cornflower pattern was subsequently produced at her Parisian porcelain factory on rue Thiroux.This caused the pattern to be known as "decor de la Rene".This pattern is regarded as a classic Louis XVI porcelain pattern. On the back of the dish is the hand painted Royal crown derby iron red mark. The dish is in good condition with a small rim repair. 9" 1/2 by 10". I'm happy to answer any questions you might have and to send more photo's.
