Lot Essay

See John Twitchett, Derby Porcelain, Antique Collector's Club, London, 1980, fig. 377 for a plaque painted with the same view of Spencer House in the collection of the City Museum & Art Gallery, Derby. Around 1820, Earl Spencer commissioned pieces from Derby painted with views of his London house. The present vase is likely from this commission.
