Royal Crown Derby Historic Connection

Since 1750 when Royal Crown Derby was founded, The British Royal Family have influenced the heritage that underpins the hallmarks of the business today.

In 1755 King George III granted Royal Crown Derby the use of the crown in the factory mark and in 1987 Her Majesty The Queen Mother awarded Royal Crown Derby the use of the Royal Warrant.

This royal connection has facilitated Royal Crown Derby in becoming the globally renowned brand for luxury Tableware and commemorative giftware.

Established in 1750, Royal Crown Derby manufactures the world’s finest tableware in the heart of England. Exquisite Fine Bone China, trend defining creativity, unrivalled quality and breath-taking service are the hallmarks of our reputation that has been earned over 270 years by serving distinguished clients including Royal Families and the world’s finest hotels and restaurants.

In 1981 the first Royal Crown Derby paperweights, five birds and a rabbit, were launched at a reception at Chatsworth House. These models were to develop into one of the most important ranges of Bone China figures in the world of collecting. 

Royal Crown Derby is a family-owned business and reputations matter. They take immense pride in their heritage, the exceptional products that they make and the memories that they help create.

Royal Crown Derby is the last ‘prestige’ tableware brand to make all products exclusively in the UK.
