This is a beautiful Dinner plate. It is made by Royal Crown Derby in their famous Mikado collection.
It is very rare and hard to find variation of this pattern in RED
The Mikado pattern was designed in 1894 by Royal Crown Derby’s art director, Thomas Amos Reed. It was inspired by rice paper drawings that he had obtained in the Far East. The original illustrations formed the basis of the scenes. With the exception of a few of the larger pieces, which are decorated with the complete design, all of the smaller items are decorated with a different chapter of the story. Variations of the legend associated with the pattern are many. Indeed, little imagination is needed to weave a tale with such romantic subjects as ‘Wandering Sad-Eyed Lover’, ‘The Tall Standing Pagodas of the Orient’, ‘The Flight of Cranes’, all set against a backdrop or rivers, mountains and delicate leaf tracery.
The plate is properly marked with Royal Crown Derby backstamp and the cypher under the mark. The listing is for one plate only.
The plate is 10 3/8" in diameter.
It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, gold loss or repairs. It could have some utensils marks.
The plates could be a few millimeters smaller or larger in size and some of them has paler colors that is normal for Mikado pattern
Exceptional collector’s piece. Would have a place in any china collection.
This is a piece of history that everyone will be proud to have.
Patterns in the Oriental taste have been popular at Royal Crown Derby since the manufactory was founded in 1748.
It was an era of expansion and discovery when all eyes were looking to the riches of the East, and exotic ware was exported to Europe.
Such meticulous detail and exquisite decoration became the inspiration for Derby and,
blue and white ware such as sauce boats, baskets and coffee pots were made in Oriental style.
Blue Mikado was originally recorded in Pattern Book number 9, as pattern number 4001 on the Dover shape.
Later it was produced in a multi-color version and a variety of monochrome colors.
A variety of prints on colored grounds have appeared over the years including probably the rarest, a gold print on a rich yellow ground.
