This is a rare and magnificent Derby sucrier dating from the end
of the Eighteenth century, c1795. It is of a straight sided oval shape, with
open loop handles at the ends.
The sucrier and cover have the most stunning gilt and orange
decoration. The gilding is of a very rich honey colour that just shines out
perfectly.
The oval body of the sucrier has around the top portion a
charming decoration with elliptical orange coloured panels edged in gilding.
These are interlinked with plain white elliptical panels that are profiled with
the same gilding.
In each of the elliptical panels there is a gilded dot in the
centre above and below which are elegant gilded stars. The ellipses are held
between fine gilded lines around the body of the teapot. These fine gilded
lines are then bounded by thick gilded bands around the body. All together, this
is a very rich and striking pattern.
At each end of the sucrier are elegant oval loop handles, these
are very finely moulded and gilded.
The high flat domed cover of the sucrier is decorated with the
same gilt and orange design that is applied to the sucrier bowl. Again the
quality of this decoration is superb.
The cover has an oval open loop handle, so fine and delectate,
perfectly matching the style of the sucrier and a handle that was often favoured
at the Derby factory at this period.
The loop handle is joined to the lid a moulded implied rivet
which is gilded.
The sucrier is marked on the underside with the painted Derby
mark of the crown, below which are the crossed batons, between which are three
dots to each side. Below this is the 'D' Derby mark and number 600. This mark is
executed in puce. This mark together with the shape and style of the teapot
dates it to c1795.
This is a rare and stunning Sucrier and Cover from the famous
Derby factory, c1795. It is beautifully decorated in orange enamel and lavish
honey coloured gilding. This is a delightful Sucrier for the connoisseur
collector of early English or Derby porcelain.
