ROYAL CROWN DERBY- BLUE MIKADO (c.1950)-  OPEN SUGAR BOWL- EXCELLENT !

THE SUGAR BOWL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, APPEARS RARELY USED …… PROBABLY SPENT MOST OF ITS LIFE IN THE DISPLAY CABINET. THERE ARE NO CHIPS, CRACKS, OR CRAZING.  THE GILT IS GREAT .

THE BOWL MEASURES 4 INCHES ACROSS THE RIM AND STANDS 1 7/8 INCHES IN HEIGHT.

WHAT A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO YOUR ANTIQUE COLLECTION OR TO YOUR BLUE MIKADO SET.  AND AS ALWAYS. DO KEEP IN MIND THAT AS TIME GOES BY, FEWER OF THESE FINE PIECES WILL BE AROUND.  

THANK YOU FOR LOOKING.

“”””THE  MIKADO OF JAPAN opera is about  Nanki-Poo, the runaway son of the Mikado (Emperor) fleeing a forced marriage; disguised as a traveling musician, meets and falls in love with Yum-Yum, who is  betrothed to her guardian, Ko-Ko, a tailor and newly appointed executioner whose first “customer” is himself for flirting.  It is a comedy with themes of death and cruelty, dealt with by humour and understatement, and ending in laughter, song, and dance.
