This beautiful, Bone china Water Pitcher/. Royal Crown Derby in their famous Mikado collection. The Mikado pattern was designed in 1894 by Royal Crown Derby's art director, Thomas Amos Reed. It was inspired by rice paper drawings that he had obtained in the Far East. The original illustrations formed the basis of the scenes.

With the exception of a few of the larger pieces, which are decorated with the complete design, all of the smaller items are decorated with a different chapter of the story. Variations of the legend associated with the pattern are many. Indeed, little imagination is needed to weave a tale with such romantic subjects as'Wandering Sad-Eyed Lover','The Tall Standing Pagodas of the Orient','The Flight of Cranes', all set against a backdrop or rivers, mountains and delicate leaf tracery.

Th e jug is properly marked with Royal Crown Derby blue backstamp and the cipher. It is made in 1906. 5 3/4 tall to the rim.

The jug is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, gold loss or repairs. It is possible to have some minor crazing, gold loss, and/or utensils marks that are consistent with the age. Would have a place in any china collection. Check out my other items.

Be sure to add me to your favourites list. We will open an unpaid case after four days.
