Royal Crown Derby Old Imari Salad/Dessert Plate

Elevate your collection with a true masterpiece of English ceramic art. The Old Imari 1128 pattern is the crowning achievement of Royal Crown Derby, embodying a rich heritage that dates back to the early 18th century. This specific design, first recorded in the Derby pattern books around 1882, is a breathtaking fusion of Eastern inspiration and Western craftsmanship.

The “Old Imari” style draws from the traditional Japanese aesthetic of the Edo period, characterized by its dense, symmetrical motifs and regal color palette. Each plate is a labor of love, featuring hand-applied 22-karat gold accents that shimmer against the deep cobalt blue and vibrant iron-red hues.

A Legacy of Quality:
Royal Crown Derby holds a unique place in history as one of the oldest remaining English porcelain manufacturers. In 1775, King George III granted the factory the honor of using the “Crown” in its name, and in 1890, Queen Victoria appointed the company “Manufacturers of Porcelain to Her Majesty,” allowing the prefix “Royal.” When you hold an Old Imari piece, you aren’t just holding a plate—you are holding centuries of royal-approved excellence.
