Stunning matched set of 12 Small Place-setting Knives and Forks with Royal Crown Derby Porcelain Handles in the spirited “Asian Rose” Imari pattern (#8687).
Introduced in 1910, this pattern quickly captured the market for luxury tableware. During the peak of its 20th-century production, in the 1950s and 1960s, it was frequently retailed by elite luxury purveyors like Tiffany & Co. in New York and Gumps in San Francisco, solidifying its status as an elite status symbol for high-society dinner tables.
Anything in the “Old Imari” and the “Imari Rose” patterns is synonymous with refined entertaining, even today. This set would pair well with traditional white service plates or a decorative salad-appetizer course. True chic.
Iron red, cobalt blue, with 22-carat gold, on a creamy-white, “fine English bone china” ground (suggesting pre-1960s production which shifted to a brighter white porcelain ground). Each of the blades is stamped “Royal Crown Derby Made in England” with the crown logo and have a serrated stainless-steel blade. All blades, tines, and handles are all in pristine condition, showing no signs of use and/or extremely careful care. Fitted box, again in the pre-1960s form, and marked on the inside of the satin-lined, faux-red leather case 'Royal Crown Derby CHINA'.
