‘Derby’ is a world-renowned porcelain that was first manufactured in the mid-eighteenth century and which continues in production to the present day. The Society is also preparing a full colour catalogue of the exhibits that will provide in-depth information of all the pieces on display, making a useful reference work for the future.
Representing the Derby Porcelain Society, council member John Astle said, “This is a great opportunity for the Society to promote Derby porcelain. Our intention to show many lesser-known, unrecorded and newly discovered pieces is sure to generate lots of interest amongst collectors and enthusiasts. The fair is well-known among ceramics collectors and always very busy. I’m really looking forward to it!”

Their presence emphasises how AFE is such an important event for ceramics collectors. We have many specialists exhibiting and plenty of Derby pieces on sale. Of course, our November fair will provide huge inspiration for collectors in so many areas, and is also a great opportunity for Christmas present buying.”
