Albert Gregory joined Derby at Ormaston Road in the 1890s. Renowned for his naturalistic flower painting, his name became synonymous with the large cabbage roses- The Gregory Rose- which dominate his compositions. A vase of the same form and nearly identical decoration formerly in the Royal Crown Derby Museum was sold Sotheby's, London, 8 November 1999, lot 34. Also see J. Twitchett and B. Bailey, Royal Crown Derby, 1976, p. 149 for another 'Emperor' vase dated 1904.
