Welcome to the website for the Derby Porcelain Society.
The Society was founded in the mid 1980's, to promote the research, education and appreciation of Derby porcelain. With over 270 years of history since the first porcelain factory was founded in Derby, there is still much to learn. The Society shares its research with its members via regular Newsletters and occasional Journals, with further publications and books produced as and when appropriate.
