DERBY

Early XIX CENTURY NEPTUNE

£700

An important piece of English ceramics, this early 19th Century Derby Porcelain Figure of Neptune is finely modelled. The figure of the Roman god of the sea stands powerfully upon a square form base. The modeling reflects the high-quality craftsmanship characteristic of the Derby factory during this period.

I am drawn to the mythological and historical weight of this figure. Neptune, as a symbol of power, the sea, and change, carries an immense emotional charge. We see this as a compelling Mementos & Curiosities object, ideal for a collector’s cabinet. It represents not only a highly collectible period of English ceramic production but also the enduring classical influence on European decorative arts.
