Seventeen-Piece Royal Crown Derby Partial Dessert Service, ca. 1887, English, decorated with raised gilt and gilt-trimmed mauve and green grapes and grape leaves, the set comprised of a pair of tazzas, h. 4-1/2", dia. 9", four comports, h. 2-1/2", dia. 9", and eleven dessert plates, dia. 8-3/4", each piece impressed Derby and with the transfer-printed mark, including the 1887 year cypher.

One of the tall footed tazzas has been repaired and touched up. Faint hairlines show to the base and the inside of the bowl is slightly discolored. The other tall tazza looks like the stand has been reattached to the underside of the bowl and the gold does not match at this point. The short tazzas have some stains to the inside of the bowls. Most of the plates have some stains to the front and back sides. One plate has been repaired and repainted; it was once cracked in half.
