The intricate decoration incorporates stylized flowers, scrolling motifs, geometric panels and abundant gilding, creating the opulent appearance for which Derby Imari porcelain is so admired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth pieces bear the Royal Crown Derby backstamp together with the pattern number \u003cb\u003e2451\u003c\/b\u003e and a date cipher corresponding to \u003cb\u003e1928\u003c\/b\u003e. The cup has a fluted rim and an elegant gilded handle, while the saucer is densely decorated across its surface with coordinating floral and geometric designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cup and saucer has an interesting history. It was discovered carefully stored in an old box and protected with straw—an old-fashioned packing material suggesting that it may have been packed away many decades ago, perhaps not long after it was originally purchased. Its remarkable condition certainly supports the impression that it saw little, if any, use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn excellent antique condition and appears possibly unused.
