What is Royal Crown Derby?

Royal Crown Derby is an English fine china maker based in Derby. The company traces its roots to a Derby porcelain business operating from 1750, and it still produces pieces in England. Royal Crown Derby is known for fine bone china tableware, giftware, and decorative pieces such as prestige vases and collectable figurines. Many items feature hand-applied precious-metal decoration, including 22-carat gold, and designs that range from classic pattern services to modern collaborations. If you see “Royal Crown Derby Porcelain Company” on paperwork or packaging, that points to the long-running Derby manufacturer rather than a pattern name on its own.
