The history of Royal Crown Derby is one of changing fortunes in the ebb and flow of time and taste. It began some time around 1750, when the Huguenot, Andrew Planche, established the first china works in Derby. His exquisite figures led to a fortuitous link with William Duesbury, who eventually became the guiding light in a very successful partnership manufacturing china of the highest quality.

The Royal Crown Derby Porcelain Company is a privately owned Limited Company. It employs about 200 people and manufactures the highest quality English Fine Bone China at its factory on a four and a half acre site on Osmaston Road, in Derby, England.

The present factory was established in 1878 but the business traces its origins to the original factory which was set up in Nottingham Road in about 1750, hence the 260th Anniversary clock. Queen Victoria granted permission to include the title "Royal" in the company name in 1890.
