A striking Royal Crown Derby porcelain teacup and saucer with an unusual delicate ear shaped scrolled handle and shaped rims with moulded foliate detail to the edges. Decorated with a shaped mazarine blue ground, ornately framed with hand gilded scrolls, acanthus leaves, trailing foliate garlands, arabesques and delightful flowers formed from small hearts. A bat printed design of finely detailed rose garlands, shells and large exotic leaves in orange red fill the cavetto, and striking fan shaped reserves are hand painted with a lilac blue enamel. A mint green enamel is also used to highlight between the scrolls and shells inside the main blue border. The cup has a gilt frieze running inside the rim. Both pieces with matching marks with the date cyipher for 1906, and decorator's marks.
The cup measures 5cm (2") high and 8.3cm (3 1/4") wide and the saucer is 13.7cm (5 3/8") wide.
In perfect condition with no discernible handling wear.
