Product Description
Few English porcelain patterns are quite as recognisable as Royal Crown Derby Imari. With its rich cobalt blue, warm iron-red decoration and touches of gold, this beautiful large teacup trio brings the splendour of traditional English fine china to the tea table.
Dating to 1914, the trio is decorated in Royal Crown Derby's celebrated Imari pattern 2451 and comprises a generously sized teacup measuring 5.5cm tall x 11cm wide, a matching 16cm saucer and an 18cm butter plate. The intricate floral and geometric decoration reflects the Japanese-inspired designs that became an enduring part of Royal Crown Derby's heritage.
A lovely addition to an existing Imari collection or a special afternoon tea setting, this elegant trio would also make a thoughtful birthday, anniversary, wedding or Christmas gift for someone who appreciates fine English porcelain.
Each piece in our collection carries the subtle marks of time, adding to its authenticity and charm. Any notable details are thoughtfully included in the description and imagery. Should you wish to see more, we are always happy to assist.
If This Piece Could Talk…
"I was made in 1914, when afternoon tea was a familiar ritual and the world was on the brink of extraordinary change. I wonder whose hands first lifted me, what conversations unfolded around the table, and whether anyone imagined the years that lay ahead. Perhaps I witnessed laughter, family gatherings or a quiet moment of comfort during uncertain times. My rich Imari colours have lost none of their splendour, although the people who once knew me are long gone. More than a century later, I am still here, waiting for another table, another conversation and another cup of tea."
