The Derby Porcelain factory has its roots in the late 1740s, when Andrew Planch, a Walloon Huguenot refugee, started making simple porcelain toys shaped like animals in his back garden. In 1756 Staffordshire enameller William Duysbury and banker John Heath started a new porcelain factory with Planch and this was to grow out to the largest factory of its time, buying up the bankrupted Chelsea and Bow factories, as well as the stock of several other workshops including that of James Giles.

The combination of various traditions, porcelain making skills and sophisticated clients enabled Duesbury to create one of the best porcelain factories of the 18th and 19th Centuries, which after many ups and downs is still operative today.

In 1811 the factory came under the ownership of Robert Bloor, and this started the "Bloor Derby" era.

These two pieces have some damage to the extremely delicate flower petals etc. it is difficult to see but they are there and I have tried to show you most of them with the limited 10 images I can display.

being over 200 years old they will have been handled and moved about many times and so it will be inevitable that there will be a little loss of the very very delicate porcelain work .

That said these two are absolutely stunning and I am loathed to sell them. We have had them in the office for quite a while and have never tired of looking at them - they cheer up your day
