Did Royal Crown Derby have a connection with the Titanic?

Royal Crown Derby refers to a Titanic connection in its heritage story, mentioning a commission linked to first-class dining. That ties the brand’s output to luxury hospitality in the early 20th century, the same market served by prestige hotels and ocean liners. For collectors, this is one reason “Titanic” appears as a collection label on the brand’s menus. If you are trying to buy “Titanic” themed pieces, separate historical commission claims from modern commemorative or branded collections. Look for clear naming, official product descriptions, and base marks that match Royal Crown Derby production rather than generic “Titanic souvenir” ceramics from unrelated makers.
