Derby - four seasons

By frankiebeth, 21 October, 2009
Description

I have four beautiful porcelain figures called the Four Seasons made between 1811-1820 which are in excellent condition. Each one represents a season. The tallest one is 15" tall. They have a mark on the bottom of each one that consists of a crown, an X which includes four dots that are in each opening of the X, and the letter "D".

Re: Derby - four seasons

Such pieces really require a physical examination by a specialist in European Porcelain. In my humble opinion they don't look quite right to me, more like later copies ( The marks don't mean much at times). Here's a link for you of some copies:
