Darley Abbey captures the Regency style of restrained simplicity, using delicate lines and intricate curves to represent twirling foliage and filigree leaves. The ornamental gold elements combined with a soft green damask background makes the pattern dance around the tableware. Made in England by Royal Crown Derby. The Royal Crown Derby Porcelain Company manufactures the highest quality English fine bone china and collectibles at its headquarters in Derby, England (the English Pottery district). Although the present factory was established in 1878, the original factory was set up nearby in Nottingham Road in 1750. Queen Victoria granted permission to include the title "Royal" in the company name in 1890.
