A superb Derby ink set, dating from approximately 1820. Pink scale ground, overlaid with darker pink commas. Gilded reserve to the base, within which pendant flower swags are contained. Sinuous gilded double handles. The taper stick similarly decorated, but with acanthus leaf decoration to the lower part of that component. Similar decoration to the ink holder and quill stand. A very similar piece is illustrated on page 210 of "Derby porcelain" by John Twitchett.
Derby mark for the period 1820-5 to the base of the piece.
Condition.
In excellent antique condition. No apparent defects. Very limited gilding wear, save to the extremities of the handles. Crazing and discolouration to the interior of the inkpot.
Dimensions.
28 cm in length, including the handles.
Please note that we do not offer combined postage. The cost and time involved in wrapping and obtaining wrapping materials is considerable.
Please see our other items. We have a wide variety of different items for sale.
We use recycled packaging. It may not look pretty, but it reduces our environmental footprint.
If the postage policy specifies that postage is included, we will send by tracked postage, rather than tracked and signed. If you wish for the latter, please let us know. There will be an additional charge which we will notify to you.
When we send by tracked alone the item will be at your risk from the point that we can prove, by means of showing a delivery confirmation, that it was delivered to your premises. Until that point, the item will be at our risk.
We are prepared to deliver all over the world, except (for obvious reasons, given the Russian state's unprovoked acts of aggression in Ukraine) to Russia.
We aim to ensure that our descriptions are absolutely accurate. Nevertheless, antique porcelain is never perfect. We use high definition photography with the aim of making the condition of any item extremely clear. Defects which are obvious in the photography we use are deemed to have been declared, even if we do not specifically refer to them in the description. An example of such a defect would be crazing-but we do not regard fine crazing as being a defect. If crazing is a particular issue for you, please let us know and we will then report as to whether there is any.
Restoration is sometimes extremely difficult to detect. We use UV light and transmitted light to check whether restoration has occurred. Sometimes, even those methodologies do not reveal restoration. If you are able, notwithstanding the definition, to show that restoration of a significant nature has occurred, we would obviously allow cancellation of the sale in such circumstances.
