Royal Crown Derby

In 1750 a remarkable artist Andrew Planche established the first china works in Derby. With a passion for creativity his handmade figurines paved the way for the evolution of global ceramics.  In 1761, Royal Crown Derby’s remarkable royal connection began with the creation of a commemorative piece celebrating the coronation of King George III.  

Today we see heritage at the start of our story, not the end. We continue to celebrate our roots and the rich history that has paved the way for our iconic British brand. People all over the world continue to seek beautifully designed tableware that is synonymous with British craftsmanship. This desire for the best continues to inspire everything that we do.
